Quebec puts the brakes on emissions targets, citing threats to jobs and economy

January 22, 2026

Quebec is postponing its 2030 emission-cuts deadline by five years, citing threats to jobs and the economy.

The time to reach the goal has been extended to buffer the province in a time of uncertainty, the government said when it made the announcement on Thursday. It’s a “pragmatic approach” that does not sacrifice Quebec’s commitment to fighting climate change, Environment Minister Bernard Drainville said.
