Canada pledge to reduce its GHG emissions by 45-50% of by 2035 from 2005 levels

The Government of Canada has submitted its 2035 nationally determined contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. Canada’s 2035 NDC is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 45-50% below 2005 levels by 2035, building on the 2030 target of 40-45% below 2005 levels.  Based on Canada’s best accounting of its 2005 
emissions contained in its 2024NIR, this is equivalent to a target of about 381-419 Mt CO₂eq. The country aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Canada is taking action to implement policies and measures across each sub-goal and across its highest-emitting economic sectors (oil and gas, transport and buildings) as part of the domestic energy transition. Measures include increasing renewable energy capacity, improving energy efficiency, phase-out of unabated coal, transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating zero- and low-emission technologies, phasing out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, and accelerating the reduction of non-CO₂ emissions, especially methane and the reduction of emissions from road transport.
