Canada’s Carbon Target Still ‘Insufficient’, Global Warming On Track for 2.4°C, Climate Action Tracker Warns – The Energy Mix: “While the target is stronger than its predecessor, Canada’s
‘Insufficient’ CAT rating would only change if the country ditched the
less ambitious end of its target range,” the Tracker states.
“Moreover, Canada’s climate plan to cut emissions, updated last
December, will not reduce emissions enough to meet these new targets,
nor will the further measures outlined in the 2021 Budget, released
earlier this month, so further policy action is needed.”

Climate campaigners have been calling on the federal government to
commit to a 60% “fair share” target for emission reductions by 2030.

While this week’s assessment gives Canada points for committing to a
stronger, fixed target that spans the entire economy and aims toward
net-zero emissions, it concludes that the country’s official Nationally
Determined Contribution (NDC) under the 2015 Paris Agreement is not
aligned with a net-zero target, and lacks additional supporting targets
that would bring it closer to Paris compliance.
