Climate Change Daily Vid Oct 5 2017: Cdn Feds ‘not prepared’ for climate change impacts: Commissioner

Climate change is widely regarded as one of the most significant concerns facing our economy, health, and natural environment. 

Failure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the impacts of climate change will result in greater risks for Canadians. This audit focused on whether Environment and Climate Change Canada, with support from other government departments and agencies, made progress toward meeting Canada’s commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.



This audit is important because failing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions increases the risks of pollution, natural disasters, forest fires, and floods.

We concluded that Environment and Climate Change Canada worked collaboratively with provinces and territories to develop a new national climate change plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030—the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change.

However, the measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions contained in this plan had yet to be implemented. We concluded that Environment and Climate Change Canada, with support from other government departments and agencies, did not make progress toward meeting Canada’s commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Department did not implement measures that would be sufficient to reach the 2020 target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and it shifted its focus to the 2030 target.

If thinking about the lives of unborn future generations seems too abstract to motivate you to act, try instead looking a young child or grandchild in the eye and asking yourself what sort of future you are leaving for them. There is something that, on reflection, many adults would surely find repugnant in the idea that they will leave their children a damaged planet that will radically affect their life possibilities.

Kiribati President Anote Tong

"…I remember I had been trying to convince him to visit Kiribati and he did in 2011. He came to Kiribati and I remember he went to visit one of these communities that was flooded every time there is very high tides and there was this young boy who stepped up to the Secretary General and said Mr. Secretary General, you are a very important man you know, is there something that you can do to ensure I will have a future, that I will have a home. And the Secretary General came back and he said Mr. President I have been listening to you at the General Assembly but I never truly understood what it was you trying to communicate but now I do and I feel and I understand I would do everything that I can”
