What it does

The impacts of climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution are among this century’s greatest challenges. Some of our Program’s responsibilities include:

• developing, strengthening and overseeing compliance with policies, voluntary agreements, regulations, and action plans aimed at reducing Canada’s GHG emissions and air contaminants from the transportation sector;

• collaborating with other federal partners to reduce air pollutants and GHG emissions;

• delivering programs to improve the health of Canadians and the environment by reducing emissions through the accelerated adoption of new clean transportation technologies, including light-duty Zero Emission Vehicle incentives; Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicle incentives; and, promoting green shipping corridors;

• advancing clean technology transportation research, development and demonstration in the aviation, marine and rail sectors; and

• strengthening the transportation sector’s resilience to climate impacts by partnering with various departments, jurisdictions and stakeholders to address climate risks across Canada’s transportation systems.
