Ottawa, provinces and territories failed to meet new climate goals: report
A new climate report claims that federal, provincial and territorial governments have failed to formulate emission reduction plans that are sufficient to achieve Canada’s net zero emissions target.
The report of the Pembina Institute, an energy and climate think tank, concluded that Canada will not achieve its recently announced net zero emissions target for 2030 or 2050.
“Unfortunately, we are unable to achieve Canada’s new goal of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions by 40% to 45% by 2030 on the basis of 2005,” said Isabelle Turcotte, Director of Federal Policy at Pembina .
“The most optimistic forecast shows that we are on track to reduce emissions by 36%. So there is a big gap here.”

Canadians energy use among the world s highest and dirtier than you think
Daniel Martins
mercredi, 9 septembre 2020 à 06:00 - Though Canada s energy grid is one of the cleanest in the world, there s a big disconnect between the country s clean power generation, and its fossil fuel-heavy transportation and home heating use.
It’s a common complaint from some quarters: Why the rush to bring down Canada’s emissions? Our tiny population is powered by mostly renewable energy. We can’t be having THAT much of an impact.
It’s true that the 37 million Canadians only amount to the 39th most populous country in the world, and the least-populous in the G7. And with around four-fifths of our power generated from zero-emission sources, it’s easy to argue our energy mix is the envy of our peers.
