Canada’s climate governance for 2025 is setting new standards for environmental accountability and corporate responsibility. With updated regulations under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) and net-zero targets, businesses must align operations with Canada’s evolving climate priorities to remain compliant and competitive.

From emissions reporting to supply chain sustainability, the 2025 climate governance framework presents both challenges and opportunities for leaders across industries.

What is Canada Climate Governance for 2025?

Canada’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 relies on a series of rigorous regulatory updates and accountability measures. The modernized CEPA framework prioritizes:

  • Emissions Reductions: Setting benchmarks for carbon neutrality.
  • Corporate Accountability: Strengthening mandatory climate disclosures.
  • Pollution Prevention: Promoting clean energy and reducing environmental harm.

The government’s Plan of Priorities outlines clear objectives for climate governance, helping businesses plan their role in a sustainable future. Explore the Plan of Priorities here.
