| Industrial carbon pricing | Strengthening Alberta’s industrial carbon pricing system to incentivize investments in emissions reductions by large industrial emitters | Alberta has weakened its TIER system through the implementation of a Direct Investment Compliance Mechanism and by freezing the headline price; the carbon credit market has plunged over the last two years, hindering investment in industrial decarbonization | No progress |
| Oilsands emissions | Lowering the Oil Sands Emissions Limit, accompanied by effective regulations that enforce the limit | No progress on this. Oilsands emissions reached an all-time high in 2025 | No progress |
