The Canadian government is reportedly reaching an agreement with Alberta to lower industrial carbon pricing targets. The new proposed target of $130 per tonne by 2040 is significantly lower than the previous federal goal of $170 per tonne by 2030. This policy shift comes amid concerns from health professionals and climate institutes that Canada is falling behind on its 2030 emissions targets. Critics argue that weakening carbon pricing while expanding fossil fuel infrastructure undermines national climate commitments and threatens public health.
