The government would be free to choose the measures it intends to take to achieve the target but the public would have a right to weigh in.

It alleges that the government’s gutting of key measures in the federal climate plan have created legal violations of the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act (CNZEAA).
The case was launched by Ecojustice on behalf of Sophia Mathur, Marie Maltais, Shirley Barnea, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE), and Environmental Defence.
The applicants are asking the court to order the government to revise its 2030 climate plan so that it meets its legal obligation to chart a credible, up-to-date course of action capable of achieving Canada’s 2030 emissions target, to protect Canadians from the worsening impacts of climate change.
As Canada braces for another summer of dangerous heat, wildfires and storms, three young Canadians, alongside health and environmental organizations, are taking the government to court, arguing that it no longer has a credible plan to meet its legally binding 2030 climate target.
See you in court, Prime Minister Carney.

THANK YOU!!!
Climate change is the largest debt to be passed from one generation to the next in our history. Younger and future generations are poised to inherit the messes we’ve made, but failed to clean up. That’s not a legacy of which Canadians can be proud. Wishing you good luck!!

"If the [Species at Risk] Act is weakened to allow risk to this iconic West Coast population, no species, from caribou to monarch butterflies, will be safe.... It’s not too late to demand a path forward that preserves our natural heritage," writes Margot Venton, @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social 👇
