Climate Leadership Team Recommendations
Set a goal of reducing methane by 40% within 5 years
Implement regulations for leak detection and repair
Develop best practices for methane reduction and reporting through multi-stakeholder effort
Upon review of the climate plan in five years: Set a new reduction goal Decide between expanded carbon tax (default), additional
regulations, or continued voluntary approach

Alberta’s methane strategy
• Commitment to reduce methane by 45% by 2025
• Joint Initiative on methane reduction and verification for the first 5 years, with mandatory standards effective in 2020 to act as backstop
