The December 2020 Strengthened Climate Plan committed the Government of Canada to develop a Climate Lens that could be applied to government decision-making in a rigorous, consistent, and measurable manner. In May 2021, the Government provided direction on the inclusion of economic/jobs and social/inclusivity considerations into one Integrated Climate Lens (ICL) framework. The ICL will accompany proposals as they move through the Cabinet, Budget and Treasury Board (TB) processes. A pilot project was launched in fall 2021 to test the ICL on a subset of departments submitting proposals for Budget 2022. Based on the pilot project, this iteration of the ICL will be refined before broader implementation across all departments.
