Get the Facts on the Oil and Gas Corporate Emissions Cap.
We urge the Canadian federal government to strengthen the emissions cap and protect the hope of millions of people who want to live in a fair and safe country — now, and for generations to come. You can send a message to the government too.
The impacts of worsening wildfires and floods cross borders. A strong emissions cap would not only benefit Canadians, but people across the globe bearing the brunt of extreme climate disasters as fossil fuel emissions rise.
A strong emissions cap could finally hold the biggest polluters accountable to their fair share of emissions reductions.
In Canada, the oil and gas sector is responsible for 31% of total national greenhouse gas emissions. Between 1990 and 2022, emissions from oil sands production grew by 467% and conventional oil production by 24%. Meanwhile, other sectors cut their emissions.
Canada has never met a climate target, and is not on track to meet its 2030 emissions reduction target of 40-45% below 2005 levels.
A strong emissions cap could safeguard the future for our kids and grandkids. Canada needs to do its part to rein in fossil fuel emissions – to prevent more climate disasters.
