On May 2, 2016, the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC)   announced its 30 by 30 Climate Change Challenge  – a pledge to remove 30 megatonnes (MT) of CO₂ per year by 2030.  FPAC claims that the forest sector is the first to voluntarily contribute to the federal government’s climate goals under the Paris agreement;  the target is “more than 13% of the Canadian government’s emissions target” for 2030.  The details are not yet clear, but  FPAC states generally that it  will rely on improved forest management, increasing “the use of innovative forest products and clean tech to displace materials made from fossil fuels, and by further efficiencies at mill sites.” According to the  Globe and Mail , “the association endorsed the adoption of carbon pricing – either taxes or cap-and-trade systems”.
