US EditionCanada gets further away from reaching 2030 emission target: Report
Canada's current policies will reduce emissions by only 21% by 2030, far below the 40–45% target, with oil and gas production remaining flat, Environment and Climate Change Canada reported.
- Canada's goal is to cut emissions to no more than 455 million tonnes by 2030, which is 40-45% below 2005 levels, as per the Paris climate accord.
- A new report projects Canada's emissions in 2030 will be around 513 million tonnes, higher than the previous 467 million tonne projection from 2023, even with planned carbon pricing increases.
- The latest projection excludes the proposed oil and gas emissions cap, which would have cut 3 million more tonnes by 2030 but was scrapped after an agreement with Alberta.

Ottawa confirms it will miss emission targets unless major policy shifts are made

OTTAWA—A progress report on Canada's emission targets shows that the federal government's projections for greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 are higher than two years ago. The 2025 report estimates that Canada's emissions in 2030 will amount to approximately 513 million tonnes. This assumes that all planned and announced policy measures, such as the projected increase in carbon prices to $170 per tonne by 2030, would be implemented. The 2023 proje…
