Three takeaways from Climate Action 2027<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <strong>Climate Action 2027 report<\/strong> is out next week. We polled 2,000 Canadians, surveyed 150 business executives, conducted roundtables with 65 climate observers, and parsed through hundreds of policy documents and datapoints to assemble our proprietary Climate Action Barometer and Sector Indices\u2014a measure of climate progress across various parts of the economy. It was an instructive six-month endeavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a glimpse of what we discovered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-black-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Climate action advanced, even as policy slipped.<\/strong> The Climate Action Barometer fell\u2014again\u2014from last year on policy pivots and a major project drive amid trade tensions with the U.S. Call it a reset, not a retreat, as we noted in last year\u2019s survey: net-zero by 2050 remains a federal target. Action momentum continues through incentives around electric vehicles, provincial retrofitting programs, and renewables deployment progress on a landmark carbon capture and storage project proposal in Alberta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"603\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/11\/CLIMATE-ACTION-BAROMETER-CA27-for-climate-crunch.png?quality=80&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10345\" style=\"width:1023px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/11\/CLIMATE-ACTION-BAROMETER-CA27-for-climate-crunch.png 3229w, https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/11\/CLIMATE-ACTION-BAROMETER-CA27-for-climate-crunch.png?resize=300,177 300w, https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/11\/CLIMATE-ACTION-BAROMETER-CA27-for-climate-crunch.png?resize=768,452 768w, https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/11\/CLIMATE-ACTION-BAROMETER-CA27-for-climate-crunch.png?resize=1024,603 1024w, https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/11\/CLIMATE-ACTION-BAROMETER-CA27-for-climate-crunch.png?resize=1536,904 1536w, https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2026\/11\/CLIMATE-ACTION-BAROMETER-CA27-for-climate-crunch.png?resize=2048,1205 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Oil and gas decarbonization financing pulled back sharply.<\/strong> A 21% decline between 2023-25 to a five-year low suggests capital is waiting for more policy certainty. The Carbon Capture Investment Tax Credit (ITC) extension and Carbon Contracts for Difference, along with the carbon capture project, aim to reverse the slide.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Climate change is hitting Canadians unevenly<\/strong>. In our survey of 2,000 Canadians, women reported more health effects than men, and Gen Z and Millennials bear the heaviest financial burden, suggesting climate costs are deepening existing gender and generational gaps. Meanwhile, the cost of climate action may be overstated: only 11% of businesses in our 150-executive survey saw cost increases above 15% from sustainable policies, suggesting that many emissions-reduction technologies have reached cost parity. Yet, many of the 65 policy analysts we polled in a separate survey are gloomy. Nearly three in four believe federal policy is weaker than five years ago, and nine in 10 doubt Canada will meet its 2030 GHG targets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/climate-action-institute\/subscribe.html\" data-dig-id=\"LP-ClimateAction-10317-3d5ce54a\" data-dig-category=\"LP-ClimateAction\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"For more, subscribe to our mailing list to receive the full report next week.\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">For more, subscribe to our mailing list to receive the full report next week.<\/a><br><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-rbc-section-block  pos-rel\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-section-inner-block  section-inner\" style=\"border-radius:0x\">\n<h2 id=\"h-2-ottawa-proposes-credit-multiplier-to-support-biofuel-producers\" class=\"wp-block-heading mar-t-0 mob-mar-t-0 has-rbc-climate-action-green-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2\">2. Ottawa proposes \u201ccredit multiplier\u201d to support biofuel producers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why?<\/strong> The concern is that U.S. policy, especially its Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit, is undercutting Canadian biodiesel, renewable diesel and ethanol producers. Some plants have already shut down temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What\u2019s Ottawa\u2019s fix?<\/strong> A proposed change to the Clean Fuel Regulations providing a \u201ccredit multiplier.\u201d Fuel made in Canada from North American feedstock would earn more compliance credits (1.3x to 1.8x) than the same volume of imported fuel. The aim is to level the playing field with US 45Z. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) will also publish monthly credit reports to improve transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The trade-off?<\/strong> Bonus credits aren\u2019t extra emission cuts, and Ottawa didn\u2019t raise the number of credits that fuel suppliers must submit each year to make up for them. Suppliers can therefore meet their obligations with fewer real reductions\u2014about 2.7 metric tonnes a year less by ECCC\u2019s estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Industry reaction?<\/strong> One <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.finance.yahoo.com\/news\/renewable-industries-canada-welcomes-clean-194400362.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-ClimateAction-10317-3d5ce54a\" data-dig-category=\"LP-ClimateAction\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"trade\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">trade<\/a> group representing biofuel producers welcomed the changes but is pushing for 1.3x multiplier on ethanol to be at least 1.4x, as do numerous agricultural groups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-rbc-section-block  pos-rel\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-section-inner-block  section-inner\" style=\"border-radius:0x\">\n<h2 id=\"h-3-canada-s-50b-utility-bill\" class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default default has-rbc-climate-action-green-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3\">3.
