This report identifies Canada’s top climate change policy solutions and assesses how effective they have been in meeting our emissions commitments. It shows that adopting best in-country solutions from provincial leaders under a unifying national approach would make serious headway in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The analysis concludes that if Canada had adopted best-in-country clean energy policies in 2008, it could be within reach (about six per cent) of meeting its international emissions target for 2020.
This report is supplemented by Progress on Canadian Climate Policy, a technical report from Navius Research.
