正文(英文) | June 14, 2018—Bariloche, Argentina—Government of Canada Canada and Argentina continue to demonstrate leadership, domestically and internationally, in the transition to a low-carbon economy. The Honourable Jim Carr, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, along with Argentina’s Energy and Mining Minister, the Honourable Juan José Aranguren, today announced that Canada and Argentina will conduct peer reviews to ensure both countries are on track to phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. They made the announcement on the margins of the G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial Meeting in Bariloche, Argentina. In 2016, Canada committed to phasing out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies by 2025, strengthening the landmark 2009 commitment made by G20 countries to phase out and rationalize inefficient fossil fuel subsidies over the medium term while providing targeted support for the poorest citizens. Argentina and Canada have both made significant progress in phasing out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies and are on track to achieve their commitments. Phasing out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies is an important step in the transition to a low-carbon economy. Canada is taking action to combat climate change by pricing carbon pollution, phasing out traditional coal-fired power and regulating methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. By conducting a peer review of its inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, Canada is further reaffirming its commitment to climate action and to sustainable economic growth at home and abroad. The Minister of Finance and the Minister of Environment and Climate Change will be conducting the peer review on behalf of Canada. Argentina is fully committed to its energy and climate goals and is eager to fulfil its international agreements. Ensuring energy security for developing countries while mitigating environmental impacts remain central components of Argentinean energy policy. Through Canada’s national energy dialogue, Generation Energy, Canadians expressed that Canada has an opportunity to play a leading role in the global low-carbon movement. Canada will continue to support clean energy initiatives that create jobs, support investment and strengthen industry competitiveness to advance Canada’s clean growth future.
