In March 2008, the Canadian government released the latest details of its proposed action plan for tackling climate change in Turning the Corner: Regulatory Framework for Industrial Greenhouse Gas Emissions. It doesn’t include provisions to reach Canada’s Kyoto target of a six-per-cent reduction from 1990 levels by the 2008 to 2012 reporting period. Instead, it outlines proposals for reducing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) by 20 per cent below 2006 levels by 2020, and by 60 to 70 per cent below 2006 levels by 2050.

European states such as Germany, Sweden, Denmark and, more recently, the UK, have pushed forward innovations in various environmental domains.
