Newly surfaced federal data on Canada's exported emissions reveals a concerning trend. Despite emission reduction efforts at home, Canada's exported emissions from coal, oil and gas are dramatically climbing — and wiping out domestic progress.

Capping oil and gas pollution is crucial to cut greenhouse gas emissions, while ensuring the industry’s competitiveness through the energy transition, federal ministers said Monday. But Ottawa’s fiercest critics were quick to slam the proposal, setting up fresh rounds of conflict for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s beleaguered government.

Premier Danielle Smith said Tuesday it's a de facto production cap that will stifle the economy.

There are some big-ticket items coming soon: an oil and gas emissions cap, new clean electricity regulations, and restrictions on methane.

With a federal election looming, Liberals are claiming the high ground on climate change and accusing the NDP of caving to Conservative disinformation. It's a clear preview of what's to come.

A new study shows that oil and gas companies went on the offensive in 2023, meeting with federal government officials more than 1,250 times to delay, weaken or block climate policies.

The federal government bet billions on a global hydrogen revolution to secure Canada's place in this emerging sector, but in April it quietly noted the expected market to be worth just 16% of its 2020 estimate.

Canada is going big on hydrogen with billions of dollars of public money on the line. But according to documents obtained by Canada's National Observer, the fossil fuel industry is deeply entrenched in the country's hydrogen strategy.

In Nova Scotia, much of the land is privately owned, which makes reaching tree-planting targets tougher. But a new program funded jointly by the province and Federal government is working with stakeholders to meet an ambitious 21-million tree target.

Provinces and territories working together to decarbonize their power grids is an essential step in the country's transition off fossil fuels to a sustainable future, but plenty stands in the way of meeting that goal. Chief among them: political polarization.

Canadian federal, provincial and territorial forest ministers have signed on to a national strategy that they say aims to raise awareness of wildfire risks across the country — and expects half of all Canadians to be acting in response to climate change.

Canada's energy minister is defending carbon capture and storage technology as both effective and affordable, after an Alberta power company walked away from a planned project and a study found that another project got public subsidies to cover more than three-quarters of its costs.
