Top of PageWhat is the Government of Canada doing to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions?
The Government of Canada has developed an aggressive plan to tackle climate change by taking action to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) and to reduce air pollution. This approach is concrete and practical, and will result in real improvements to our climate and our environment. For the first time in Canadian history, the Government of Canada will impose mandatory reductions on big industry and new regulatory requirements to reduce emissions from cars and trucks. The Government’s comprehensive environmental agenda also includes: • the ecoENERGY Initiatives, including home retrofit grants and funding for renewable power • the ecoTransport Strategy • support for public transit • action to expand the production and use of biofuels.
