This plan set out a package of initiatives to take Canada one third of the way to its Kyoto target. It aimed at key sectors and included initiatives in areas such as transportation, energy, and buildings.

This plan's goals were to help Canadians become efficient energy producers and consumers. The 2002 plan promoted Canadian leadership in developing new and cleaner technologies, and identified a broad range of actions based on the earlier 2000 plan.

This plan built on the two previous plans. Its goals were to help mobilize Canadians around Canada's Kyoto commitments, and help transform the economy while maintaining our competitiveness.
