The Net-Zero Challenge
Achieving net-zero emissions requires support from all parts of our society, including the private sector. Companies operating in Canada have an essential role to play in helping the country achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. To support Canadian companies in reducing their emissions, the Government of Canada launched the Net-Zero Challenge.
The Challenge encourages companies to develop and implement credible and effective plans to transition their facilities and operations to net-zero emissions by 2050. This Challenge builds on the momentum of global initiatives, while offering a made-in-Canada approach.
What will the Net-Zero Challenge accomplish
Through the Challenge, the Government of Canada will accomplish the following:
Normalize net-zero planning so that it becomes the default business practice.
Build momentum through guidance and leadership.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial and other sectors.
Position its industries to be green and competitive in the global net-zero economy.
