Canada has slipped to 62nd place out of 67 ranked countries on the latest Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI). This downgrade of five ranks underscores the nation’s dire performance in critical areas such as greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy adoption, and energy efficiency, with its climate policy rates deemed “low.” The CCPI, a monitoring tool published annually by Germanwatch since 2005, evaluates countries’ climate protection efforts. The latest report highlights Canada’s dismal performance despite its status as the sixth-largest crude oil producer and the fifth-largest natural gas producer globally. …In response to mounting pressure, the Canadian government has proposed regulations for a net-zero electricity grid by 2035 and pledged investments in renewable energy and grid modernization projects. However, challenges such as the absence of a national power grid and disconnected regional grids hamper clean energy deployment.
