This is the best summary I could come up with:
Simon Dyer, deputy executive director of the Pembina Institute, a clean energy think-tank that has looked at the climate policy challenges across Canada, called it a "pretty nice reflection" of the dominant industries in different provinces.
He added that means specific policies to cut emissions in each sector are important at all levels of government — federal, provincial and municipal.
They're based on the United Nations System of Environmental-Economic Accounting, which is more targeted and less comprehensive than the National Inventory Report of greenhouse gas emissions submitted as part of Canada's global commitments under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, which also includes things like changes in land use.
Meanwhile, he said Canadians need to hold Alberta and Saskatchewan accountable for their lack of progress, especially since they have been pushing back against the federal government's climate policy efforts, saying they step into provincial jurisdiction.
"If Alberta and Saskatchewan want to lead," he said, "that means actually, you know, setting targets and putting policies in place to reduce emissions."
Dyer and his colleagues are currently working with Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C., on a new report looking at provincial and territorial climate plans and challenges across the country, which will be released in 2024.
