To create a future with a clean, healthy environment and a strong economy for people living in Canada, the Government of Canada is working with Canadians to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

Environment and Climate Change Canada recently launched a public engagement process to hear the opinions of Canadians and Indigenous peoples across the country to inform setting Canada's 2035 national greenhouse gas emissions target. This important step is mandated under the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act and Canada’s international obligations under the Paris Agreement.

The 2023 Progress Report on the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan, published in December 2023, demonstrates that Canada’s climate plan is working, and that the emissions curve is bending. In addition to the federal government, other partners, stakeholders, provinces, territories, and municipalities across Canada are helping drive down emissions. 

To help inform the government’s work in setting the 2035 target, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, is inviting Canadians to share their views on the virtual public engagement platform, Talking Targets: Canada's Climate Future, which is open until March 28, 2024, 11:59 p.m. (PDT). The input collected through this engagement process is one of several components that need to be considered when setting the 2035 target.

Compost Chapter What We Heard Document Available Online

In early 2023, the Ministry of Environment conducted engagement on a proposed draft chapter for composting facilities to be included as part of the Saskatchewan Environmental Code. To support this public engagement, the ministry released the draft chapter, a discussion paper and survey. The ministry also hosted informational webinars where participants could ask questions and provide feedback.

The ministry accepted feedback for a 60-day period.

The ministry has now considered all feedback received, and has published a What We Heard report, summarizing comments received on the draft chapter.
