The federal government’s new retrofit program will reduce up-front costs for Canadians, drive electrification and energy efficiency improvements, and cut emissions from Canadian homes.

Canadian Climate Institute’s early analysis finds emissions are headed in the wrong direction, largely driven by an uptick in gas for heating and electricity.

New analysis shows that Canada’s goal of net zero emissions by 2050 will be unreachable without significant policy improvements.

Latest scientific assessment shows rapidly cutting global emissions could contain the damage and avoid devastating weather extremes, including 10° C of winter warming in parts of Northern Canada.

The agreement between Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the federal government shows the level of ambition needed to reach Canada’s goal of doubling the electricity grid with clean energy.

The federal government needs to show how and when it will implement its new vehicle emissions standard to ensure it meets its 2035 commitment.
