At this pivotal time in Canadian history, amidst economic and geopolitical uncertainty and new federal approaches and partnerships, it is critical to renew and strengthen existing funding to address the climate, nature and pollution crises, and to integrate these environmental priorities into Canada’s new economic strategies and investments.
Investments in climate and nature action, and reducing pollution, are crucial for success on the Prime Minister’s seven priorities, particularly for a strong Canadian economy, bringing down costs for Canadians, more affordable housing, and attracting the best talent, as well as for the success of the Climate Competitiveness Strategy.
Such investments are both economic necessities and moral imperatives, and could ensure Canada flourishes in the years ahead with dependable clean energy, energy efficient housing, climate resilience, treasured nature areas and biodiversity, healthy people, and reliable chemicals management.
Spring 2026 and the fall 2026 budget are prime opportunities for progress on these issues.
To help the federal government make best use of its limited resources, the Green Budget Coalition has utilized its expertise and years of research and discussions with government officials and Indigenous allies to develop this comprehensive set of timely budget and fiscal recommendations.
