Article: For the first time, Northwest Territories commits to net-zero by 2050 target

“The Government of the Northwest Territories’ (GNWT) recent commitment to develop a net-zero emissions target by 2050 represents a critical step forward for the territory’s future energy plans and initiatives. 

“The NWT deals with a unique and longstanding mix of energy and climate challenges related to disproportionate impacts of climate change, diesel dependency for urban centers and remote communities, and vast land mass resulting in high transportation emissions. An ambitious and collaboratively determined net-zero emissions target will not only support communities and industry as they champion made-in-the-north climate solutions, it will also support the territory as it competes in a shifting global economy which increasingly prioritizes low carbon solutions that would mitigate future greenhouse gas contributions to climate change.
