TACKLING CLIMATE CHANGE Canada’s Approach Page 1 OBJECTIVE – Why we are here? Page 2 CLIMATE CHANGE – A rising challenge • The science is clear • Global temperatures have risen 0.85°C since 1880 • Canada’s temperatures have risen 1.6°C since 1880 • We must act now Page 3 CLIMATE CHANGE – The Paris Agreement • Canada: one of 195 signatories • Limit average temperature rise to less than 2.0°C • Strive to keep increase below 1.5°C Page 4 CLIMATE CHANGE – In Canada • Many Canadians are already experiencing climate change: • more extreme weather events • longer, hotter heat waves • thawing permafrost and loss of Arctic ice • threats to local food sources for Indigenous peoples in the North Page 5 CLIMATE CHANGE – By economic sector Waste and Others 7% Oil and Gas 26% • Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions can be broken down across Agriculture 10% Buildings 12% economic sectors Electricity 11% Other Industry 10% Transportation 23% Source: Environment Canada and Climate Change (2016) National Inventory Report 1990–2014: Greenhouse Gas Sources and Sinks in Canada. Page 6 CLIMATE CHANGE – Emission targets • Canada’s current greenhouse gas target is 30% below 2005 levels in 2030 Page 7 CLIMATE CHANGE – At home and abroad Page 8 CANADA’S APPROACH – Working groups • The First Ministers meeting established four working groups to develop Canadian options for climate change • Working groups by theme: – – – – Mitigation Carbon Pricing Adaptation and Resilience Clean Technology, Innovation and Jobs Page 9 CANADA’S APPROACH – The process • Our discussion will contribute to Canada’s approach to climate change • Ideas will be recorded and posted to the interactive website, so people will be able to read them and submit comments • Feedback submitted through the website will be shared with working group members Page 10 KEY QUESTIONS for discussion • What have been your own experiences with the impacts of climate change? • What are the solutions to reducing greenhouse gases that you would like to see governments, businesses and communities implement? • What are your ideas for growing the economy and jobs while also reducing emissions? • What are some ideas to promote innovation and new technologies in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions? • What can Canada do to better adapt to impacts of climate change and support affected communities, including Indigenous communities?
