Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has acknowledged that his country's emissions will exceed previous forecasts in coming years, effectively conceding that near-term climate targets are unattainable. Carney attributed the shortfall to a three-pronged crisis involving affordability pressures from global oil volatility, economic vulnerability from dependence on U.S. markets, and the mounting burden of climate transition costs.

Carney outlined his government’s energy strategy in the second installment of a video series called *Forward Guidance*, arguing Canada is grappling with a three-part crisis: affordability pressures driven by global oil volatility, economic vulnerability tied to heavy reliance on US markets and the mounting challenge of the climate transition.
