A Checklist for Alberta's Climate Change Plan

What to look for in a comprehensive action plan for Alberta

The Government of Alberta has stated that it will release its climate change plan early in 2008.

The responses to the following three key questions will form the basis of our assessment of Alberta’s climate plan:

  1. Is the plan comprehensive and effective in covering key sources of emissions?
  2. How does the plan compare to the emission reduction activities and targets in peer provinces such as British Columbia, Ontario and Québec?
  3. Does the plan lay out its expectations and assumptions for emission reductions in a transparent way, and does it ensure clear accountability for the delivery of those reductions?
