Amend the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act to include emissions from animal agriculture, the top or second-largest emitter
- Proposal text
- The GPC supports revising the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act to include all GHG emissions from the animal agriculture industry.
- Type of Proposal
- Public policy that the party would represent
- Objective / Benefit
- Animal agriculture is either the largest or second-largest carbon emitter globally of any industry. The IPCC estimated livestock rearing's global emissions contributions to be 14.5%. However, studies using top-down measurement rather than bottom-up approaches including land use and deforestation have shown the number is closer to 37% of all global GHG emissions coming from animal agriculture. Amending the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act to include emissions from animal agriculture would send a clear price signal to this heavily-polluting industry and would help Canada reach net-zero emissions much faster.
