Canada’s C.D. Howe Institute recently gathered experts in four of the seven major sectors of our economy that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is targeting to lower Canada’s industrial greenhouse gas emissions to 40%-45% below 2005 levels by 2030.
The four sectors — oil and gas, transportation, buildings and electricity — account for more than 70% of Canada’s 2020 emissions, the last year for which government data are available.
They were asked to assess how realistic Trudeau’s targets are, given that their industries will have to implement them.
