Unceded Algonquin Anishinaabe Territories [OTTAWA], 22 April 2021 :<\/b><\/p>\n

This morning during the opening plenary of President Biden\u2019s Leaders Summit on Climate, Prime Minister Trudeau announced Canada\u2019s new 40 – 45% climate target range. This target marks an increase in ambition, up from the nation\u2019s previously stated target window of 31 – 40% as announced in December 2020\u2019s <\/span>Healthy Environment Healthy Economy Plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This announcement confirms Canada\u2019s intended level of commitment, which fell under swift scrutiny earlier this week when a number (36%), released as part of the federal budget, was widely mistaken for a new greenhouse gas reduction target.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s target announcement this morning was made alongside that of several other nations in attendance at the Leader\u2019s Summit on Climate, and comes on the heels of ambitious targets announced just days ago by other Paris signatory nations including the UK, who has brought forward a new 78% by 2035 target, and the Biden administration\u2019 commitment to reducing emissions by half by the end of the decade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Territoires algonquins anishinaabe non c\u00e9d\u00e9s [OTTAWA], 22 avril 2021 :<\/b><\/p>\n

Ce matin, lors de la s\u00e9ance pl\u00e9ni\u00e8re d\u2019ouverture du Sommet des dirigeants sur le climat du pr\u00e9sident Biden, le premier ministre Trudeau a annonc\u00e9 le nouvel objectif climatique de 40 \u00e0 45 % du Canada. Cet objectif marque une augmentation de l\u2019ambition par rapport \u00e0 la fen\u00eatre cible pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment d\u00e9clar\u00e9e de 31 \u00e0 40%, comme annonc\u00e9 dans le plan pour <\/span>Une \u00e9conomie saine pour un environnement sain<\/span><\/i> de d\u00e9cembre 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cette annonce confirme le niveau d\u2019engagement pr\u00e9vu du Canada, qui a fait l\u2019objet d\u2019un examen rapide plus t\u00f4t cette semaine, lorsqu’un chiffre (36%), publi\u00e9 dans le cadre du budget f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, a \u00e9t\u00e9 largement confondu avec un nouvel objectif de r\u00e9duction des gaz \u00e0 effet de serre.<\/span><\/p>\n

L’annonce de l’objectif du Canada ce matin a \u00e9t\u00e9 faite en m\u00eame temps que celle de plusieurs autres nations pr\u00e9sentes au Sommet des dirigeants sur le climat, et fait suite aux objectifs ambitieux annonc\u00e9s il y a quelques jours \u00e0 peine par d’autres pays signataires de Paris, dont le Royaume-Uni, qui a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 un nouvel objectif de 78% d’ici 2035 et l’engagement de l’administration Biden \u00e0 r\u00e9duire de moiti\u00e9 les \u00e9missions d’ici la fin de la d\u00e9cennie.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

QUOTES FROM CANADIAN CIVIL SOCIETY REPRESENTATIVES<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to see Canada driving up ambition and it\u2019s not enough. The new target is not aligned with 1.5C – that would require a 60% emissions reduction goal. We hope to see Canada continue to ramp up ambition, both in future years and as NDC consultations occur in coming months on the road to Glasgow. Canada not only needs to improve its climate targets, but also pass strong legislation to meet those targets. Canada’s proposed Net-Zero Accountability Act, currently stalled in the House, must be strengthened as it contains more of a duty to report than a duty to achieve. As Prime Minister Trudeau noted, Canada is an energy exporting nation and that is one of the country’s main barriers to climate ambition. Canada’s new NDC should address emissions from oil and gas production, ban fossil fuel subsidies, and enshrine Just Transition legislation.\u201d<\/span> Catherine Abreu, Executive Director, Climate Action Network Canada\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00ab C\u2019est bien de voir le Canada augmenter son ambition, et ce n\u2019est pas suffisant. La nouvelle cible n’est pas align\u00e9e sur le 1,5\u00b0C – qui n\u00e9cessiterait un objectif de r\u00e9duction de 60%. Nous esp\u00e9rons voir le Canada continuer \u00e0 accro\u00eetre son ambition, \u00e0 la fois dans les ann\u00e9es \u00e0 venir et \u00e0 mesure que les consultations sur sa contribution d\u00e9termin\u00e9e au niveau national (CDN) auront lieu dans les prochains mois, sur la voie vers Glasgow. Le Canada doit non seulement am\u00e9liorer ses objectifs climatiques, mais \u00e9galement adopter des lois rigoureuses pour atteindre ces objectifs. La <\/span>Loi canadienne sur la responsabilit\u00e9 en mati\u00e8re de carboneutralit\u00e9<\/span><\/i>, actuellement bloqu\u00e9e \u00e0 la Chambre des Communes, doit \u00eatre renforc\u00e9e car elle contient davantage une obligation \u00e0 faire rapport sur ses cibles qu\u2019une obligations \u00e0 les atteindre. Comme l’a soulign\u00e9 le premier ministre Trudeau, le Canada est un pays exportateur d’\u00e9nergie; c’est l’un des principaux obstacles du pays \u00e0 l’ambition climatique. La nouvelle CDN du Canada devrait s’attaquer aux \u00e9missions provenant de la production de p\u00e9trole et de gaz, interdire les subventions aux \u00e9nergies fossiles et ench\u00e2sser une loi sur la transition juste. \u00bb<\/span> Catherine Abreu, Directrice ex\u00e9cutive, Climate Action Network Canada\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIf Trudeau\u2019s government is serious about fighting climate change, his administration needs to stand up to big oil, starting with the cancelation of the Trans Mountain Pipeline, phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, and bringing in strong regulations to limit climate pollution,\u201d <\/span>\u00a0said Sven Biggs, Canadian Oil and Gas Program Director.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cCanada was once a climate leader. We can be again, but only if this government has the courage to acknowledge that we cannot reach our climate commitments so long as we rely on fossil fuels for jobs and our energy needs. Any successful climate plan must include massive investment in supporting oil and gas workers to transition to a clean energy economy,\u201d <\/span>\u00a0said Sonia Theroux, Executive Director, Leadnow.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem with Justin Trudeau\u2019s new climate pledge can be summed up in two words \u2013 fossil fuels. Neither Trudeau\u2019s new climate plan, nor his budget, nor this new climate promise include a plan to tackle soaring emissions from tar sands, fracking and other fossil fuel expansion that makes Canada the only G7 country whose emissions have gone up since signing the Paris Agreement. Canada needs to cut our emissions at least 60% by 2030 and pass legislation like a Just Transition Act to make sure we meet our Paris commitment and leave no one behind,\u201d <\/span>said Amara Possian, Canada Campaigns Director, 350.org.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00abL’ambition est certes rehauss\u00e9e, mais n’est pas \u00e0 la hauteur de l’urgence climatique. Pour faire la diff\u00e9rence et se positionner comme leader, le Canada doit se doter de cibles d\u2019au moins 60% d’ici 2030 en plus d’aider d’autres pays \u00e0 se d\u00e9carboner. Plus nous attendons avant de mettre en place les politiques et r\u00e8glements qui nous am\u00e8nent \u00e0 la carboneutralit\u00e9 d\u2019ici 2050, plus la pente vers l’objectif sera abrupte\u00bb, <\/span>affirme \u00c9mile Boisseau-Bouvier, analyste des politiques climatiques chez \u00c9quiterre.<\/b><\/p>\n

EN: <\/b>\u00ab\u00a0The ambition has certainly been raised, but it doesn\u2019t match the climate emergency. To make a difference and positions itself as a leader, Canada needs to set targets of at least 60% by 2030 and help other countries decarbonize. The longer we wait to put in place the policies and regulations that will take us to carbon neutrality by 2050, the steeper the slope towards that goal will be,\u00a0\u00bb <\/span>said \u00c9mile Boisseau-Bouvier, climate policy analyst at \u00c9quiterre.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Trudeau’s proposed target is less ambitious than what climate science requires, with no commitment to phasing out fossil fuels at home or abroad. Canada is a rich country yet its target is less than Canada’s fair share of the global effort and less than what the U.S. is proposing. We should be proposing<\/span> at least a 60% reduction<\/span><\/a> in emissions by 2030 from 2005 levels, alongside a plan for a just transition for workers as we phase out fossil fuels. We must start with eliminating\u00a0 fossil fuel subsidies immediately. After more than five years in office, the Trudeau government is still incapable of proposing a target as ambitious as that of Joe Biden who took office just three months ago. Despite recent positive commitments on climate, Canada remains under the influence of the oil and gas industry, which prioritizes private profits over the wellbeing of communities and the environment. The costs of inaction will be greater than the cost of acting quickly and decisively.\u00a0\u00bb <\/span>Keith Stewart, Senior Energy Strategist, Greenpeace Canada.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a climate emergency target.\u00a0 Canada is one of the very worst emitters and needs to do more. This target will not halt the 2 degrees of warming that puts the future of the Earth in danger. A global fair share target is 60% – and it is doable.\u00a0 Anything less is just not acceptable – it is a recipe for ecocide. Canada\u2019s target as announced fails future generations and must change; as must the Climate Plan. We must\u00a0 tackle the need to phase out fossil fuels 100% and transition to a renewable energy future.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Lyn Adamson, Co-Chair, ClimateFast<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Canada could be a climate leader, but climate leaders do not deal in empty promises or half-measures. Climate leaders do not build pipelines through stolen land or sign off on enormous fossil fuel subsidies with the same pen they use to legislate net-zero by 2050 targets. Canada is the only G7 country whose emissions have increased since the Paris Agreement. But this is not only a crisis of emissions, it is a crisis of equality. Canada\u2019s inaction on climate is a betrayal of the people and areas most affected by this crisis. Anything less than a commitment to reduce our own emissions by 60% by 2030 is an insult to those we continue to hurt with our inaction. It is time for Canada to get serious on climate, to wind down the oil and gas industry and support workers through the transition rather than continue delaying the inevitable.\u00a0\u00bb <\/span>Alyssa Scanga, Youth Organizer, Climate Strike Canada\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

FR: <\/b>\u201cLe Canada pourrait \u00eatre un champion climatique, mais les champions climatiques ne s\u2019impliquent pas des fausses promesses ou demi-mesures. Les champions climatiques ne construisent pas des ol\u00e9oducs \u00e0 travers de la terre vol\u00e9e et n\u2019approuvent pas de filiaux combustibles fossiles de la m\u00eame main qui a l\u00e9gif\u00e9r\u00e9 des objectifs de neutralit\u00e9 en carbone pour 2050. Le Canada est le seul pays du G7 auquel leurs \u00e9missions ont augment\u00e9 depuis l\u2019Accord de Paris. Ceci n\u2019est pas seulement une crise d\u2019\u00e9missions, c\u2019est une crise d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9. L\u2019inaction sur le climat de la part du Canada constitue une trahison aux personnes et endroits les plus affect\u00e9s par la crise climatique. Rien de moins qu\u2019un engagement de r\u00e9duire nos \u00e9missions par 60% par 2030 est une insulte \u00e0 ceux qui continuent \u00e0 souffrir \u00e0 cause de notre inaction. C\u2019est temps que le Canada devient s\u00e9rieux sur le climat, de dissoudre l\u2019industrie p\u00e9troli\u00e8re et gazi\u00e8re en supportant les travailleurs \u00e0 travers une transition au lieu de continuer \u00e0 retarder l\u2019in\u00e9vitable.\u201d <\/span>Alyssa Scanga, jeune organisatrice, Gr\u00e8ve pour le Climat Canada<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/b>Canada is a wealthy nation that has been among the top 10 emitters of greenhouse gases for decades. We helped create the climate crisis that threatens the future of our children. We must make a deeper commitment to fight climate change and we must have a realistic plan for keeping that commitment. We must stop investing in the oil and gas sector. We must invest deeply in energy efficiency and renewable energies; in walkable, bike-able and transit-supportive communities. These investments will reduce air pollution and improve health, while creating new jobs and fuel savings.\u201d <\/span>Kim Perrotta, Executive Director, Canadian Health Association for Sustainability and Equity (CHASE)\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cCanada has increased its ambition on climate change, but reductions of 60 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 are needed to limit climate-related risks and impacts that are disproportionately affecting women and marginalized communities. We call on Prime Minister Trudeau to ensure environmental justice and gender justice are central to Canada\u2019s climate actions. In addition to domestic actions, this will require Canada to commit at least $1.8 billion a year of public investments in climate finance in order to support women and other vulnerable people in developing countries to respond and adapt to climate change.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Anya Knechtel, Policy Specialist, Oxfam Canada<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0New Brunswick risks undermining the province\u2019s capacity to protect its citizens and compete in a decarbonized global economy if it fails to develop its own electrification and decarbonisation plan to reach near zero by 2050 and 60 per cent by 2030, a level that would see the province\u2019s emissions fall to 5 million tonnes in 10 years. While the province\u2019s emissions currently are in line with the new proposed federal target of 40 to 45% below 2005 by 2030, other federal requirements apply regardless of where our province\u2019s emissions are, including the need to phase out coal from electricity generation by 2030, meet the requirements of a clean fuel standard, and a rising carbon price reaching $170\/tonne by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNew Brunswick has a hard work to do, just like all provinces, and every country in the world to ensure we get on a path that avoids 1.5 degrees warming. We can\u2019t negotiate with the atmosphere. The global carbon budget is small and rapidly declining. The province needs to comply based on the laws of physics, not politics,\u201d <\/span>Louise Comeau, Director of Climate Change and Energy, Conservation Council of New Brunswick<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cPrime Minister Trudeau\u2019s announcement today that Canada will reduce emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 represents a big step forward. Still, we absolutely must go further. Under the banner of <\/span>For the Love of Creation,<\/span><\/i> people of faith, national churches, and faith-based organizations have been active in the call for Canada to <\/span>reduce national greenhouse gas emissions by 60 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, and<\/span> invest in a just transition to a fair, inclusive, green economy that creates good secure jobs, and promotes the well-being of everyone in Canada.<\/span> Canadian climate ambition continues to be undermined by federal support to the oil and gas sector and a failure to embrace transformational change to ensure the liveability of the planet and the flourishing of all creation.\u201d <\/span>Karri Munn-Venn, Senior Policy Analyst, Citizens for Public Justice<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s announcement of Canada\u2019s new climate target does not deserve much celebration. While an improvement over from its previous, even more inadequate, pledge, this target does not represent what Canada could and should do to reduce emissions at a pace necessary to prevent a climate catastrophe and human rights disaster. It also places an excessive burden on developing countries. With such a weak target, Canada is effectively saying that poorer countries, who are less responsible for climate change, must also halve their emissions by 2030. It\u2019s time the Government of Canada started treating climate change like the global emergency it is by acting in a manner proportional to the scale of the crisis and in line with its full capacity and responsibility.\u201d <\/span>Fiona Koza, Business and Human Rights Campaigner, Amnesty International Canada<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0As part of the Arctic, the Yukon is already experiencing the impacts of the climate crisis. While we applaud the increase from Prime Minister Trudeau\u2019s recent budget announcement of 36% emissions reduction to a murky number between 40 to 45%, sadly this goal does not account for the increasing emissions in Canada. Considering that Canada is one of the world’s biggest producers of greenhouse gas emissions, our minimum Fair Share would be a 60% emission reduction by 2030. We call on the Federal Government to reassess their target.\u00a0\u00bb <\/span>Coral Voss, Executive Director, Yukon Conservation Society<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIn its latest report on the <\/span>State of the Global Climate<\/span><\/i>, the World Meteorological Organization stated that we need deep reductions and immediate action on the climate crisis. However, Canada\u2019s carbon emissions reduction target is not adequate and does not include emissions from the military. The Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces are the biggest emitters in the federal government. The Trudeau government continues to make massive investments in fossil-fuel powered militarism like new tanks and fighter jets. To stop global warming, we need to stop war.\u201d <\/span>Tamara Lorincz, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Human bodies do not tolerate half-measures in resuscitation–we crash and die. COVID-19 does not tolerate half-measures in its management–cases skyrocket. Similarly, keeping the climate from trespassing across tipping points of no return is not a situation where half-measures constitute a healthy response to climate change. A 40-45% reduction in emissions below 2005 levels by 2030 does not represent Canada’s fair share of emissions reductions. So our job is to over-deliver. Our ambition heading forward must be to push hard, push fast, and not stop until we create the governance frameworks, through a strengthened Bill C-12, the resources, via a reallocation of fossil fuel subsidies, and the political will necessary for us to wake up in 2030 and find that we have done our part in stabilizing the Earth’s climate and providing a healthy future for our children.\u201d – <\/span>Dr Courtney Howard, Emergency Physician, Past-President, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Canada needs to sharply ramp up its climate action. Our country is now officially a climate laggard. We have the weakest 2030 carbon reduction target of G7 countries, the\u00a0 lowest level of\u00a0 financial assistance in the G7 for developing countries to address climate impacts, and second in the G20 in fossil fuel subsidies. Setting low goals means getting weak action. Today, Prime Minister Trudeau explicitly named the biggest barrier to Canada being a climate leader: the production and export of dirty oil. Now he needs to address that problem by phasing out all fossil fuel production and use.\u201d <\/span>Dale Marshall, National Climate Program Manager, Environmental Defence<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00ab <\/span>La cible propos\u00e9e par Trudeau est moins ambitieuse que ce qu\u2019exige la science du climat, sans aucun engagement \u00e0 \u00e9liminer les combustibles fossiles au pays et \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger. Le Canada est un pays riche, mais sa cible est inf\u00e9rieure \u00e0 ce que doit \u00eatre sa juste part de l\u2019effort mondial et est moindre que la cible des \u00c9tats-Unis. Il devrait adopter une cible de r\u00e9duction des \u00e9missions<\/span> d\u2019au moins 60%<\/span><\/a> d\u2019ici 2030 par rapport \u00e0 2005 en plus de planifier une sortie des <\/span>combustibles fossiles et<\/span> cesser imm\u00e9diatement de les subventionner. Apr\u00e8s plus de cinq ans au pouvoir, le gouvernement Trudeau n’est m\u00eame pas capable de proposer une cible aussi ambitieuse que celle de Joe Biden qui est entr\u00e9 en fonction il y a trois mois. Malgr\u00e9 ses r\u00e9centes annonces positives sur le climat, le Canada reste sous l\u2019influence de l\u2019industrie p\u00e9troli\u00e8re et gazi\u00e8re qui priorise ses profits au d\u00e9pens de la sant\u00e9 des communaut\u00e9s et de l\u2019environnement. Les co\u00fbts de l\u2019inaction seront plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s que ce qu\u2019il en co\u00fbterait pour agir rapidement et de mani\u00e8re d\u00e9termin\u00e9e. <\/span>\u00bb –\u00a0 <\/span>Pat<\/b>rick Bonin, responsable de la campagne Climat-\u00c9nergie <\/b>chez Greenpeace Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab Nous f\u00e9licitons le gouvernement Trudeau qui est enfin plus ambitieux que Stephen Harper et son gouvernement climatosceptique. Cependant, la nouvelle cible du Canada est encore loin de compenser pour toutes les ann\u00e9es o\u00f9 nous nous sommes enrichis en exploitant les sables bitumineux et en polluant l\u2019atmosph\u00e8re plan\u00e9taire.

\u00ab Il y a pr\u00e8s de cinq ans et demi \u00e0 Paris, le monde s’est finalement engag\u00e9 \u00e0 prendre des mesures audacieuses pour faire face \u00e0 la crise climatique. Mais m\u00eame dans ce cas, les dirigeant.e.s savaient que les engagements n’\u00e9taient pas suffisants pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 l’urgence du d\u00e9fi auquel nous sommes confront\u00e9s. Si nous voulons \u00e9viter les impacts les plus catastrophiques du changement climatique, nous devons travailler pour limiter la hausse de la temp\u00e9rature mondiale \u00e0 1,5 degr\u00e9s Celsius. Cela signifie que nous avons besoin de r\u00e9ductions d’\u00e9missions importantes non pas dans 20 ou 30 ans, mais dans cette d\u00e9cennie. Comme pays qui a largement contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 la crise actuelle, nous avons la responsabilit\u00e9 de faire notre juste part. Aujourd’hui, le premier ministre a certes rehauss\u00e9 notre contribution nationale d\u00e9termin\u00e9e, mais son administration n\u2019est toujours pas \u00e0 la hauteur de la t\u00e2che de lutter contre la crise climatique et r\u00e9pondre aux exigences de la science. Nous n’avons plus de temps \u00e0 perdre. Les yeux du monde, de tou.te.s les citoyen.ne.s et en particulier ceux des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations les plus jeunes, sont tourn\u00e9s vers notre gouvernement pour qu’ils mettent en \u0153uvre des plans lors des prochaines n\u00e9gociations sur le climat \u00e0 Glasgow qui r\u00e9pondent enfin \u00e0 ce moment critique et cr\u00e9ent un avenir durable et juste afin que nous puissions enfin inverser le cours de la crise climatique. \u00bb <\/span>Andr\u00e9-Yanne Parent, directrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale du Projet de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 climatique Canada.<\/b><\/p>\n

Maintenant, il faut redoubler d\u2019ambition. Pour cela, il faut bonifier le projet de loi sur la responsabilit\u00e9 climatique en instaurant une reddition de comptes d\u00e8s 2025. Il faut arr\u00eater de subventionner aussi g\u00e9n\u00e9reusement le secteur des \u00e9nergies fossiles et plut\u00f4t soutenir les travailleurs dans une transition juste vers une \u00e9conomie plus propre. \u00bb<\/span> – Dre Claudel P\u00e9trin-Desrosiers, pr\u00e9sidente de l\u2019Association qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise des m\u00e9decins pour l\u2019environnement\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
