Exploring Approaches for Canada’s Transition to Net-Zero Emissions.

Exploring Approaches for Canada’s Transition to Net-Zero Emissions - Canada’s Long-Term Strategy (LTD) Submission to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (2022) emphasizes the urgent need to move towards a global net-zero emissions economy to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, with Canada warming at twice the global average rate. Canada’s LTD is a technical analysis that leverages economic modelling to explore different approaches to Canada’s transition to net-zero emissions by 2050, focusing on electrification, renewable and alternative fuels, and engineered CO2 removal technologies. The document highlights the importance of collaboration with provinces, territories, Indigenous Peoples, industry, and international partners to achieve net-zero emissions. Canada’s LTS is not a climate plan – it is a depiction of various future scenarios that can complement Canada’s existing climate plans.
