It became a commitment known to the world, staring us in the face every day. Regardless, our emissions went up about 25%. This means we’ve committed ourselves to a 30% reduction, while the year 2012 is quickly approaching. So what did we do? We changed our targets. We cut it in half (to 2.7%) and extended the deadline (to the year 2020). See this blog post for details.

Sorry about that. The study is from The Pembina Institute. I'll find the link and post it here when I have it. Zoë Hi Franny,

Looks like the links in the post got lost once we transferred to a new website. Sorry about that. The study is from The Pembina Institute. I’ll find the link and post it here when I have it.

Thank you for all of this excellent tracking. So useful. I have a request. Given this statement: Studies show that it is economically feasible for Canada to achieve the 25 to 40% by 2020: this target is ambitious, though certainly possible. Could you tell us which studies and who conducted them? Thank you! Much appreciated! Take care, Hi!

Canada did submit new text related to adaptation, technology and mitigation, but those have not been made public. Canada committed to provide its “fair share” of financial support for climate action in developing countries. New analysis from the Pembina Institute shows that Canada’s contribution would be about 3–4% of the total. Using conservative estimates, Canada’s “fair share” works out to approximately $2–6 billion per year. I hope that helps, Zoe Hi Julie,

Has their negotiator made any statements about funds for adaptation/tech transfer/REDD? Hi Zoe -
