And in both cases, Canada already has a response at hand: robust industrial carbon pricing.<\/p>\n<p>The first of these policies, the 2022 U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, is a monumental piece of legislation that\u2019s supercharging the clean economy and cutting climate pollution south of the border. Alongside two other bills that passed with bipartisan support (the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal and the CHIPS and Science Act), it\u2019s reorienting the North American economy in fundamental ways.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. has seen\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleaninvestmentmonitor.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$225 billion in clean growth investment<\/a>\u00a0over the past year, according to the Clean Investment Monitor, which tracks these developments in detail. That represents a huge increase\u2014up 38 per cent from the previous year\u2014 and includes tangible investments in every corner of the country to support things like clean energy manufacturing and deployment, electric vehicle uptake and supply chains, building electrification, and more.<\/p>\n<p>This transformation in the industrial strategy of our largest trading partner matters a great deal for Canada\u2019s future prosperity \u2014 the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thebusinesscouncil.ca\/report\/innovate-compete-and-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Business Council of Canada<\/a>\u00a0calling it a \u201cgame-changer\u201d and a \u201ctectonic shift.\u201d It piles onto a broader global trend that has seen\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/2023\/07\/14\/one-third-of-all-electricity-will-come-from-renewables-by-2030\/#:~:text=This%20exponential%20growth%20in%20renewable,times%20higher%20than%202022%20levels.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">exponential growth<\/a>\u00a0in clean sectors worldwide.

Carbon border adjustments are basically tariffs on imported goods that don\u2019t price-in the cost of their climate pollution through a carbon price.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union began phasing in its carbon tariff\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu\/carbon-border-adjustment-mechanism_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">last October<\/a>, and will eventually apply the carbon price that domestic manufacturers already face to imported goods coming from places like Canada\u2014unless they have an equivalent carbon price in their home country. The United Kingdom is also poised to follow suit with its own carbon border adjustment\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/icapcarbonaction.com\/en\/news\/uk-government-announces-2027-carbon-border-adjustment-mechanism-and-unveils-ets-pathway-2050\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">by 2027<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s even a growing chance that America implements something similar. In the U.S., there have already been\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wri.org\/update\/4-us-congress-bills-related-carbon-border-adjustments-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">four pieces of legislation<\/a>\u00a0related to carbon border adjustments put forward for lawmakers to consider. Betting Canada\u2019s prosperity on none of these proposals coming into law is a remarkably risky prospect.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. is Canada\u2019s largest trading partner, and the European Union and the U.K. its second and third respectively. Maintaining and strengthening Canada\u2019s industrial carbon pricing system to align with these announcements is an absolute necessity for Canadian competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Industrial carbon pricing supports competitiveness on three fronts. First, if designed well, it means lower-polluting firms can generate and sell credits, allowing them to compete with the U.S. Second, it can keep carbon tariffs off our exports to our largest trading partners. And third, it has been designed to create incentives for more heavily polluting firms to reduce emissions without undermining their competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Taken together, these developments make abundantly clear that for Canada, good climate policy is good economic policy. This is especially true for our large, export-oriented industries. The economic case for keeping in place strong policies like industrial carbon pricing and other smart regulations, as well as targeted incentives to spur the clean transition here at home, has never been stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Significantly, even given the volatile political winds blowing this year, carbon border adjustments in Europe and the U.K. have significant support from conservative parties. And the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnnbloomberg.ca\/a-trump-win-won-t-sink-ira-s-climate-benefits-california-regulator-predicts-1.2028645\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unlikely to be dismantled<\/a>\u00a0even if the Republicans prevail in the November election.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the bottom line: the die is cast on the global clean energy transition. Momentum is building and business is demanding access to clean electricity and clean supply chains as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/canadianclimat.wpenginepowered.com\/clean-electricity-is-a-must-have-for-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a must-have for investment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Canada lets itself fall behind at its peril.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This article was published by the Canadian Climate Institute on Feb. 15, 2024.
