2030 Emissions Reduction Plan: Clean Air, Strong Economy

Canadians have been clear about what they want: clean air and good jobs, a healthy environment and a strong economy.

Building on the actions of millions of Canadians, the Government of Canada is taking bold and immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to fight climate change, while strengthening our economy with sustainable jobs and clean industrial growth.

The 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan is an ambitious and achievable roadmap that outlines a sector-by-sector path for Canada to reach its emissions reduction target of 40% below 2005 levels by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050.

The Plan reflects input from over 30,000 Canadians, provinces and territories, Indigenous Peoples, industry and the independent Net-Zero Advisory Body.

The 2025 Progress Report on the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan is the second of three progress reports on the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan under the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act. The 2023 Progress Report on the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan was published in December 2023 and the next report is required to be completed by the end of 2027.
