Canada’s 2030 climate plan: Designed to fail
Canada’s 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) was made public March 29, 2022. Since the country’s oil and gas sector with methane included, plus transportation components, together, represent about half of Canadian emissions, one would have thought these sectors would be objects of strong climate initiatives. Yet, for these sectors, the ERP appears to be the product of accommodation of industry lobbies. The action items stupendously lack integrity and are weak. As such, the ERP like all previous government emission reduction targets, will not achieve its goals.
