Has and Environmental Impact Study been completed?
Has there been consultation between Anmore, SD43, and the Environment Minister to ensure this project is compliant?
GHG Emissions Forecasting: The Role of Provinces and Territories
An original intention of this report was to highlight best practices in jurisdictions other than national-level governments, particularly some Canadian provinces and U.S. states. Given the unique jurisdictional issues of climate policy in Canada, and the fact that 16 megatonnes of annual emissions reductions in Turning the Corner are attributed to provincial and territorial initiatives, it is important to determine if provinces are conducting accurate forecasts of their
climate policies and measures.
With its past two reports on long-term issues related to climate change and energy,39the NRTEE has consistently called for a coordinated, national approach to climate change issues in Canada. If the federal government is to produce accurate national emissions forecasts and ensure adopted policy measures achieve forecast reductions, there needs to be better coordination and understanding of projected emissions reductions from provinces’ climate policies and measures.
There also needs to be a better understanding among governments in Canada as to various approaches to forecasting and how consistent methods can be applied to ensure accurate forecasts of GHG emissions reductions. Provinces should be encouraged to develop and release detailed emissions forecasts to inform their own policy choices necessary to meet the reduction targets they have set for themselves.
