Canada is leading the way to build support for protecting 30% of global lands and oceans by 2030.  To achieve this ambitious goal, urgent policy action and new financial models are needed to accelerate investments that conserve and restore natural ecosystems.

The global economy is changing and everyone is feeling uncertain about the future. Yet, one thing is clear. No matter what global trends occur, clean growth and climate action in Canada will create jobs and attract investment. This is an opportunity for every Canadian region and community.  

Canada is facing the prospect of serious impacts from climate change. Already, the country is warming twice as fast as the global average – and three times as fast in the North. This warming is making events that threaten the safety and wellbeing of those living in Canada more frequent and more intense.

The federal government is considering making it a requirement for anyone who sells a newly built or pre-existing home in Canada to have an EnerGuide label for that home at the time of sale. Currently, EnerGuide labels are voluntary, but as part of the Canada Greener Homes Grant Initiative, they are exceptionally popular with Canadian homeowners, with some waiting up to a year to obtain the EnerGuide evaluation needed to obtain a label.
