Climate Action
Taking action on climate is all of our responsibility and helps ensure that Manitoba is resilient to a changing climate. Our government is creating more low carbon jobs and expanding our low carbon economy through strategic investments in clean technologies, sustainable energy, and critical mineral development. We are working to grow the Manitoba economy in line with climate, water and nature, while building on clean technology and associated opportunities.
We are helping Manitoba agricultural businesses, non-profit organizations and municipal governments access the funding they need to reduce their emissions and support a low-carbon net-zero economy of the future.
Our government proposes actions to:
- Reduce electricity and natural gas consumption through targeted programming led by Efficiency Manitoba. Energy efficiency is the quickest, cleanest and most cost-effective way for Manitoba to meet its growing energy demands. Increasing energy efficiency can help reduce energy costs for individual consumers and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas consumption.
- Expand community energy efficiency in Manitoba by helping communities better understand their local energy efficiency needs while planning for a more sustainable future.
- Help households and businesses save money by transitioning them from fossil fuel heat, such as natural gas, to green heat options, such as geothermal, solar heat or biomass.
We look forward to continuing other very important work to build a greener future for all Manitobans.
