New Brunswick Climate Change Act amendment

New Brunswick's Bill 19 amends the New Brunswick Climate Change Act (S.N.B. 2018, c. 11) to bring the province's climate framework into alignment with the Susan Holt Liberal government's October 2024 election platform. Restores the targeted greenhouse-gas-reduction milestones (52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, net zero by 2050) that the Higgs PC government had weakened in 2021, adds a binding requirement for a Climate Adaptation Strategy to be published every five years, and reinstates a Climate Change Action Plan public-review requirement. The 2018 Act was the first Atlantic Canadian provincial climate statute to set binding targets.
