OTTAWA—Canada’s plan to meet its greenhouse-gas emissions targets is among the worst in the G20, according to a new report card on climate action. The international group compiles data on countries’ emissions and policies in an attempt to push them into investing in clean technology. If every G20 member does not drastically scale up its targets, the G20 overall will produce more emissions in 2030 than it does today, Climate Transparency said. Under all current G20 targets, the world is projected to warm by 3 C by the end of the century. While energy use is dropping in the G20 overall, Canada’s energy use has stayed steady over the past five years.
