Pollution pricing in Canada
| Environment and Climate Change Canada | news releases
Putting a price on carbon pollution is the most efficient means to fight climate change, while making life more affordable for Canadians. Not only does carbon pollution pricing ensure it is no longer free to pollute anywhere in Canada, but in provinces where the federal pollution pricing system applies, 8 out of 10 Canadians get more money back than they pay.

Canada’s National Adaptation Strategy reflects two years of extensive engagement with provincial, territorial, and municipal governments; First Nations, Inuit, and Métis representatives; key experts and stakeholders; and people from across Canada. Engagement on the Strategy began with bilateral discussions in early 2021 with provinces and territories, National Indigenous Organizations, and other key partners. This engagement continued throughout 2022 to inform the development of the Strategy and federal actions and to ensure the specific priorities of partners would be reflected.

Cutting pollution and making life more affordable: Government of Canada announces $48.7 million to switch to cleaner energy in Prince Edward Island
| Environment and Climate Change Canada | news releases
Climate change is affecting the safety, health, and quality of life of people across Canada. Every year, the country faces increasing record-breaking climate events, including wildfires, extreme heatwaves, and floods, on top of slow onset climate impacts, such as thawing permafrost and rising sea levels. Working together to reduce risk from the changing climate will keep Canadian communities safer and healthier. It will also shield the economy from shocks and help avoid some of the rising costs of extreme weather. Simply put, the choices we made today will help decide the future of our communities, our livelihoods, our environment, and our economy.
