OTTAWA, April 19 (Reuters) - Canada said on Monday it plans to cut carbon emissions more aggressively and issue its first green bonds, part of a global push for more action on climate change.
Ottawa s budget for the fiscal year ending next March sets a new target to cut emissions by 2030 to 36% below 2005 levels, more ambitious than its previous 30% goal. Canada has a net zero emissions target of 2050.
An even more ambitious 2030 target will be set in the coming days , the budget says, probably when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attends a virtual leaders summit on climate starting on Thursday. It will be hosted by U.S. President Joe Biden, who has put new focus on fighting climate change.
