Canada wants to reduce its emissions by 45 to 50 percent below 2005 levels by 2035 in accordance with its new climate target (NDC). This was announced by the Ministry of the Environment on Thursday. The new target builds on the previous goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 45 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. „This target keeps us on track to deliver on the promise to our children and grandchildren that the world we leave them will be safe, sustainable, affordable, and prosperous,“ Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said in a statement on the new NDC.
