After Glasgow, Canada committed to a target of 406 to 443 megatonnes by the year 2030. Its target emissions for 2020 was 607 megatonnes. In 2019, Canada’s emissions were equivalent to 730 megatonnes of carbon dioxide. The report shows how we have missed our reduction targets by a wide margin, putting our ability to reach our ambitious Glasgow commitment for 2030 in doubt. In his most recent report, the commissioner reached a sobering and worrisome conclusion: “Repeated commitments, strategies, and action plans to reduce emissions in Canada have not yielded results.” The environment commissioner is a non-partisan officer of the federal auditor general’s department, responsible for assuring Canadians get value for money from federal environmental policies and programs, and evaluating how effective those policies and programs are.
DAY OF INFAMY REDDIT SERIES
“However, after a series of missed opportunities, it has become the worst performer of all Group of Seven nations since the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change was adopted in 2015.” “Canada was once a leader in the fight against climate change,” recently-appointed commissioner Jerry DeMarco said. Two days after the Trudeau government presented a throne speech that was disappointingly weak on plans to combat climate change, the federal environment commissioner blasted Canada’s emissions reduction record. To borrow a phrase from Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Thursday, November 25, 2021, will go down as a “day of infamy” for the environment in Canada.
