The government of Ontario has released new details today about its plan to fight climate change. The government's strategy will support its cap and trade program and seek to:

...help Ontario meet its emissions reduction targets, reward innovative companies and ensure that households and businesses thrive as the province transitions to a low-carbon economy.

Highlights of the new strategy include:

• Legislation to enshrine cap and trade into law in Ontario
• Measures to integrate climate change mitigation into government decision-making and infrastructure planning
• Embeding carbon neutrality into government decisions about operations, procurement, employee training, and building retrofits
• Promoting zero emission and plug-in vehicles and looking for other mechanisms to reduce emissions from transportation.
