No G20 member has climate plan strong enough to meet Paris targets: report
OTTAWA — Canadians produce more greenhouse gas emissions per person than any other G20 economy, according to a new analysis.
Climate Transparency, a coalition of international climate organizations, released its fourth annual review of the climate polices of G20 members Wednesday. The report pointed out that none of them has a plan in place that would actually meet the goals of the Paris climate change agreement.
Leaders of the G20 will gather at the end of the month in Argentina for their annual summit, where climate change will be on the agenda.
Combined, the G20 members represent about 70 per cent of the world’s economy and population. As a group, they are also responsible for more than 80 per cent of the world’s annual greenhouse gas emissions.
