| Summary | Understanding the cost of greenhouse gas abatement options is an important step in developing climate policy because it enables decision makers to direct policy efforts towards areas that reduce emissions at the lowest cost. The Government of Northwest Territories (GNWT) Department of Infrastructure is in the process of reviewing their territorial energy and climate strategies. This project aims to inform this process by answering the following two questions: First, what is the gap between where greenhouse gas emissions are headed in response to existing policies and emission reduction targets in the Northwest Territories (NWT)? Second, what are the most economically efficient technologies, fuels and actions that could help close the gap to the NWT’s 2030 target and net zero emissions in 2050? |
| Local Relevance | This report is highly relevant to the Northwest Territories (NWT) as it provides territory-specific analysis to support climate policy and emissions reduction planning. |
