Mind the Gap: The state-of-play in Canadian greenhouse gas mitigation

» David Sawyer, IISD, 2011.

In "Mind the Gap" Dave Sawyer explores where we stand with regard to current Canadian climate change policies and how Canada can close the gap between emissions reductions expected from current federal and provincial policies and our 2020 emissions mitigation target of 17 per cent below 2005 levels. Suggestions include expanded regulatory frameworks, as well as a renewed look at both domestic and international abatement options from offsets.

Mind the Gap was produced as part of IISD Climate Change and Energy's Regulating Carbon in Canada Initiative.
