From the Declaration:
First Ministers commit to:
• Implement GHG mitigation policies in support of meeting or exceeding
Canada’s 2030 target of a 30% reduction below 2005 levels of emissions,
including specific provincial and territorial targets and objectives;
• Increase the level of ambition of environmental policies over time in
order to drive greater GHG emissions reductions, consistent with the
Paris Agreement;
• Better coordinate GHG emissions reporting systems among jurisdictions
to accurately and transparently assess the progress and the impact of
our climate actions towards our respective and collective targets.
…
First Ministers commit to:
• Transition to a low carbon economy by adopting a broad range of
domestic measures, including carbon pricing mechanisms, adapted to each
province’s and territory’s specific circumstances, in particular the
realities of Canada’s Indigenous peoples and Arctic and sub-Arctic
regions. The transition also requires that Canada engage internationally;
• Foster investments in clean technologies to reduce the GHG emissions
associated with the production and consumption of energy, including
renewable and alternative energy, energy efficiency and storage, and
other technologies which may include carbon capture and storage;
…
Recognizing that Canada has already experienced severe impacts of
climate change, including forest fires, droughts, flooding, coastal
erosion, thawing permafrost, invasive species, and the spread of
diseases previously foreign to Canada;
