颁补苍补诲补鈥檚 is the basis of the federal government鈥檚 strategy to achieve the emissions cuts needed to tackle climate change and build a cleaner economy.
The plan, and the progress reports that the government has subsequently published, outline the federal government’s plan for how it will reduce emissions by 40 to 45 per cent by 2030 on the path to net zero emissions by 2050. The plan and its progress reports are all required under the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, which establishes regular milestones for tracking 颁补苍补诲补鈥檚 progress.
