Objectives:
This policy analysis examines Canada's climate action strategies by exploring how corporations, NGOs, and government actors address climate concerns. Canada's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 aligns with international agreements like the Paris Agreement, setting key targets for sustainability and decarbonization. NGOs and think tanks influence political action by raising awareness about the consequences of inaction and offering implementable climate policy solutions. Corporate influence significantly shapes climate action through lobbying efforts that affect regulatory ambition and effectiveness. While some corporations support progressive policies, many—particularly in high-carbon sectors—seek to delay or weaken measures like carbon taxes to protect profits, revealing the tension between private interests and public environmental needs. Environmental subsidies and incentives help companies integrate sustainability into their operations and strategies. Public policy provides the framework for fiscal measures and sustainable alternatives that prioritize long-term environmental protection.
