Summary provided by
Environment Canada
Purpose of the
project
The Opportunities
Envelope (OE)
Program
, along with the other two climate change programs,
namely the
Pilot Emission Removals, Reductions and Learnings
Initiative and the
One-Tonne Challenge,
were
selected for evaluation given the need to respond to certain
risks and issues
(i.e., achievability of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions, effectiveness
of means used). They also represented an interesting set of programs to be
evaluated concurrently given the differences in the approaches to reduce GHG emissions
as well as in the targeted audiences.
The
OE Program Evaluation, in particular,
examined the
lessons learned in the area of federal, provincial, and territorial climate
change collaboration
.
Summary of the project
The evaluation of the Opportunities Envelope (OE) Program found that
while there were some concerns regarding the measurability and
achievability of
cost-effective reductions, the OE was successful in enhancing federal,
provincial and territorial climate change collaboration. There, however,
appears to be opportunities in exploring more targeted areas of collaboration
and in providing more clarity on federal, provincial and territorial
responsibilities in Canada’s effort in addressing climate change.
