Recommendations on Improving Equity of Climate Action and Stimulating an Increase in Canadian Jobs in the Global Low-Carbon and Climate Resilient Fields Student Name Institution Professor Name Course Date Recommendations on Improving Equity of Climate Action and Stimulating an Increase in Canadian Jobs in the Global Low-Carbon and Climate Resilient Fields Briefing Note: Action Items To: Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Communities From: James Arthur, Senior Analyst, Infrastructure Canada Date: 31/1/2024 Dear Deputy Head of State, I want to emphasize the crucial importance of equitable and inclusive climate action by the objectives of Bold Move #5 of Task Force for a Resilient Recovery. I seek your attention as I strive to address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic ramifications, explicitly focusing on advancing clean competitiveness and job opportunities across the Canadian economy. The aim is to propose actionable recommendations that fill in the gaps in climate action plans, emphasize justice, and promote employment that will help Canada restore its substantial and long-term recovery. Situation In most cases, notable gaps are inherent in current climate action efforts, even though they range from using pre-tax incentives to benefit low-income families to post-tax policies. This gap further adds to the economic imbalances among Canadians, invalidating Canada’s vision of building a clean growth economic team. Given the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic, a team offers suggestions to address such discrepancies, promote fairness and gender equality in climate actions, and create more jobs in low-carbon and climate-resilient sectors. Summary 1 Bold Move #5 affirms the importance of remedying gaps in climate action initiatives significantly affecting low-income households. 2 More precise focus is pointed to internal resources, collaborating with external partners, and establishing a powerful communication approach to increase programs’ efficiency by concentrating on inclusiveness. 3 The objective is to put forward an integrative combination of internal and external viewpoints, a team-level holistic alignment, and a unified proposal aimed at supporting the goal of increasing clean competitiveness and well-paying jobs across the entire Canadian economy. Context and Key Facts 1 The United Nations has enacted recovery plans in response to the COVID-19 epidemic, economic concerns that have further been aggravated by a continuous increase of CO2 emission and land use change, as well as need, in line with climate targets. This point establishes the international setting that Canada operates from. The UN’s recovery plans show a common understanding of the complex challenges that came with the COVID-19 pandemic. The economic issues are integrated to outline the interconnectedness of public health, economic prosperity, and climate agenda. This reliance is exacerbated by the rise in CO2 emissions and changes in land use. This information emphasizes the need for a comprehensive and integrated rehabilitation plan. 2 As per the Task Force for a Resilient Recovery, Bold Move # 5 highlights clean competitiveness and job creation that focuses on equity and fairness.
