Aligning Canada's financial system with the climate science. Recommendations: climate taxonomy, sustainable investment guidelines that exclude fossil fuels, climate-aligned transition plans, emissions targets, disclosure requirements regarding climate-related financial risk, tighter regulations surrounding who can be on boards of federally regulated entities, factoring climate risk into capital adequacy requirements, Sustainable Development Working Group.

Bill S-238, the Climate-Aligned Finance Act. Bill S-238, which was developed through extensive consultation with national and international experts, provides a practical framework to mobilize finances toward projects that meaningfully reduce emissions; mitigate systemic climate risks threatening our economy; and promote transparency and accountability, helping investors make informed decisions. Citizens' Climate Lobby Canada is currently advocating for the bill to be passed by the Senate and sent to the House of Commons.

Industrial carbon pricing in Canada. Industrial carbon pricing gives large industrial emitters an incentive to reduce emissions that cause climate change. Points of discussion: commitment to annual price increases, periodic review of provincial and territorial systems, oversupply of emission reduction credits, offset credits, transparency, expanded scope of the federal Benchmark, potential conflicts with the Alberta-Canada MOU.
