Evening Update: New climate plan says oil and gas sector emissions must be cut 42 per cent by 2030

Also: Russia promises to scale back attacks on Ukraine, but there are few signs of pullback

The federal government announced its new climate change plan today. The plan relies heavily on emissions cuts from the oil and gas sector to ensure the country hits its overall targets for greenhouse gas emissions.

The plan relies largely on increasing the speed and ambition of existing climate change programs. For example, beefing up the mandates for zero-emissions vehicles sales, further limiting the carbon content in fuel through the clean fuel standard, and expanding the budgets for home and building retrofits.
