2021 Reports of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development—Report 5—Lessons Learned from Canada’s Record on Climate Change

This report, which is not an audit, provides a historical perspective on Canada’s action to address climate change mitigation and adaptation in order to inform parliamentarians. Parliamentarians are instrumental in ensuring that Canada transitions to a low-emission economy and ultimately must hold government to account in meeting its climate change objectives. This report also aims to build Canadians’ awareness of the climate crisis and to share the Commissioner’s views and position future work on Canada’s climate change efforts.
