5 Dec 2022

The table indicates the extent of limits on sequestration and the vulnerability of stored carbon to atmospheric release (see the Appendix for additional details about the Panel’s ratings and the scales for this assessment). [...] Understanding the practicalities of implementation requires consideration of both the direct costs of these interventions, as well as related factors such as opportunity costs associated with other potential land-uses, social and cultural barriers to adoption, the risks of emissions leakage, and the availability of suitable policy and regulatory tools for supporting deployment (e.g., markets, paym. [...] For example, the Declaration of the Premiers of Canada includes commitments to “promote actions that support intergovernmental and cross-sector linkages in addressing climate change and that are inclusive of all sectors of the economy; implement programs and measures to adapt to climate change and reduce GHG emissions; [and] Council of Canadian Academies | 191 implement policies to reduce GHG emis. [...] Beyond reflecting on the technical mitigation potential of the NBCSs identified, the Panel’s review resulted in an overall assessment of the various elements that are critical to the design, implementation, and exercise of NBCSs as tools for climate mitigation in Canada, moving forward. [...] These elements, which include the permanence and feasibility of the actions explored, as well as considerations of additionality and the various co-benefits and trade-offs associated with them, all influence the projected success of NBCSs and are thus critical for well-informed decision-making.
