A new report recommends Canada make new climate investments of $287-billion over the next five years—equivalent to about two per cent of GDP annually.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s budget should include investments in Indigenous-led climate solutions, a clean electricity grid, energy efficiency, transit, agriculture, and adaptation, write Marc Lee, Caroline Brouillette, and Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood. The Hill Times photograph by Sam Garcia
