Principles for Climate Change Policy Design
Climate change is a global issue that requires a global solution. The Mining Association of Canada and its members offer the following principles for consideration:
- Establish a broad-based carbon price
- Apply any climate change policy-related revenues to manage the transition toward a lower carbon future, including climate adaptation
- Address competitiveness and carbon leakage concerns across all sectors
- Be predictable, flexible and sensitive to changing conditions
- Be simple, complementary and effective
- Support lower-emission generation technology development and implementation
- Recognize early action
