Canada's 2030 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC)
Canada’s 2035 NDC commits to reducing emissions by 45-50% below 2005 levels by 2035. This builds on the 2030 target of 40-45% below 2005 levels. Three key policy approaches highlighted for domestic use are carbon markets (e.g. for industrial emitters), foundational regulations, and incentives that promote access to and broad uptake of clean technologies, including clean hydrogen. Canada will also continue to explore new areas to reduce emissions, and will work with international partners to drive global ambition
