OTTAWA — Canada’s progress against greenhouse gas emissions is stalling, according to a new analysis that concludes the country’s climate target for 2030 is so far out of reach that it likely won’t even be met by 2050 — the year Prime Minister Mark Carney promises to hit “net zero” emissions.
Researchers at the Canadian Climate Institute were set to release their analysis Friday morning, concluding the country is “far off track for its near-term climate goals,” and that there is a “cavernous gap” between projected future emissions and the ambition to hit net-zero by 2050.
