In collaboration with leaders and experts from industry, government and civil society our teams are working on ‘Five Big Bets’ that have enormous potential to contribute to a clean and prosperous economy, as we collectively develop effective and scalable solutions to climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.

We live in a time of great uncertainty, complexity, and unprecedented systemic challenges. Addressing complex sustainability challenges requires unprecedented collaboration and new ways of working across sectors and across scales.

The Canada Plastics Pact (CPP) is creating a circular economy in Canada in which plastic waste is kept in the economy and out of the environment. Canada Plastics Pact Partners are united, working together on achieving clear, actionable targets by the year 2025.

Five Big Bets For Canada

 

In collaboration with leaders and experts from industry, government and civil society our teams are working on Five Big Bets for Canada that have enormous potential to contribute to a clean and prosperous economy, as we collectively develop effective and scalable solutions to climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.

These are:

  • ELIMINATE PLASTIC WASTE

  • TRANSITION ENERGY SYSTEMS FOR A MORE DIVERSIFIED ECONOMY

  • CATALYZE A 5-FOLD INCREASE IN INVESTMENTS IN NATURE

  • SUPPORT REGIONALLY SIGNIFICANT CLEAN ECONOMY TRANSITIONS

  • MAKE CIRCULARITY A WIDELY-ADOPTED STRATEGY FOR ADVANCING SUSTAINABILITY

Read more about these Big Bets for Canada and our approach.

This includes the development of quantifiable criteria, tools, and frameworks to guide decision-making for climate-smart investment. This report makes the case for future-fit hydrocarbons as a critical economic path forward for Canada that responds to such pressures now shaping energy investment, with the province of Alberta at the epicenter of this opportunity.
