A sectoral approach, agreement and mechanism (SAAM) for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions in Japan's iron and steel industry
This report outlines a sectoral approach, agreement and mechanism (SAAM) for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions in Japan's iron and steel sector.
It does so by first summarizing the stakeholder needs and desires that were taken into account to determine the practical and political suitability of various approaches. The SAAM aims to support the development and implementation of breakthrough technologies and CCS as quickly as possible. The report reviews how technology may develop and the financial impacts that a SAAM would have on the Japanese iron and steel sector. A detailed description of the SAAM is then set out, and the interrelationships with other strategies to mitigate climate change explored. The report concludes with how the SAAM could be moved towards implementation.

Canada's greenhouse gas emissions climbed in 2022, after pandemic slowdown
Canada's greenhouse gas emissions rose in 2022, as the economy rebounded from the pandemic slowdown, according to new figures released by the federal government. The new National Inventory Report data shows emissions reached 708 megatonnes in that year, compared with 698 megatonnes in 2021. But Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said the 2022 numbers are a sign his government's climate policies are working, with emissions totals the lowest in 25 years aside from the pandemic years.
