Carbon Management
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the resulting climate change are among the most dominant issues affecting politics and business today. Canada currently has the highest per-capita GHG emissions of any developed economy and is under increasing international pressure to reduce emissions. As a signatory to the Paris Agreement, the government of Canada has committed to reduce GHG emissions by 40-45% by 2030 - a transformation that will have dramatic effects on all Canadian businesses and municipalities such as:
annual increases in carbon tax to $170/tonne in 2030,
all new passenger vehicle sales to be zero-emission by 2035,
elimination of coal fueled power generation by 2030,
planting 2 billion trees by 2030,
development of a hydrogen economy, and
Climate change and GHG emission regulations will create opportunities and threats for your organization.
We can help you:
understand the exposure your organization or product has to GHG emissions by preparing a carbon footprint,
identify and execute GHG emission reduction initiatives,
assess the impacts of climate change on your organization,
establish climate change vulnerabilities and benefits through preparedness assessments, and
determine data that needs to be collected and the information management processes.
