our mission: net-zero emissions by 2050

The government of New Brunswick has unveiled an updated climate change action plan, named "Our pathway towards decarbonisation and climate resilience", outlining a comprehensive strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for climate change. The plan emphasizes government leadership and accountability, with set targets and timelines, and promises to make new brunswick a hub for green investments and technology.

New Brunswick has already made significant strides, achieving a 37% reduction in emissions since 2005. The government has pledged to further lower emissions by 46% below 2005 levels by 2030, aligning with the nationwide goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The plan outlines both short and long-term actions, ranging from incentivising zero-emission freight transport to ensuring equitable access to energy efficiency programmes for new brunswickers. Other goals include setting clear electricity efficiency targets and developing a performance standard for landfill gas management systems.
