Nova Scotia's climate action plan falls short: report

The report, released Monday, considers a 2022 plan from the PC government that details how it intends to reach its legislated climate goals.

A new report published by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives says Nova Scotia's plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change is falling short.

The report, released Monday, considers a 2022 plan from the PC government that details how it intends to reach its legislated climate goals.

It says the government's goals are ambitious and "paint a rosy picture of Nova Scotia's future," but cannot realistically be met if the province stays on its current path.

"Our analysis shows that the changes envisioned by the plan are too shallow to achieve these goals and are at odds with the principles that are claimed to be its foundation," the authors wrote.
