WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Manitoba pledged on
Thursday to cut greenhouse gas emissions and start a carbon cap
and trade system, the latest Canadian province to set long-term
targets to fight climate change.
Premier Greg Selinger's New Democratic Party government,
which faces an election in April, said Manitoba will aim to cut
emissions by one-third by 2030 from 2005 levels.
The province, whose economy depends on farming,
manufacturing and mining, will seek to be carbon-neutral by
2080, Selinger said.
Manitoba will also cap carbon emissions for certain sectors,
and link its cap and trade system with others in North America,
the government said. Details will follow public consultations.
Among the province's largest emitters are Koch Industries
Inc KCHIN.UL fertilizer plant, a Husky HSE.TO ethanol plant
and Winnipeg garbage dump, according to 2013 Environment Canada
data.
Canadian provinces are announcing environment-friendly
initiatives as a United Nations conference on climate change
continues in Paris.
