Manitobans Invited to Share Input on Roadmap to Net-Zero Emissions By 2050

Press Release

July 25, 2025

The Manitoba government is inviting Manitobans to provide input on the province’s roadmap to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, Environment and Climate Change Minister Mike Moyes announced today.

“Climate change is a big challenge, but it’s also Manitoba’s opportunity to lead,” said Moyes. “This is a chance for Manitobans to help shape the future, create opportunities in the low-carbon economy and keep life affordable for all Manitobans.”

The Manitoba government is taking action on climate change through critical projects such as:

energy – call for Indigenous-owned wind power generation to add more renewable energy to the electricity grid;
transportation – electric vehicle rebate program and investments in new charging stations;
efficiency – significant customer incentives to use less energy and save money including installing geothermal heat pumps;
local action – supporting businesses and non-profit organizations to act on climate change through the Climate Action Fund and saving Lemay Forest by converting it to a provincial park;
resilience – provide training and funding to communities to develop local climate adaptation and resilience plans;
protecting nature – supporting the development of a new protected area in the Seal River watershed, creating a Lake Winnipeg stakeholder working group and supporting phase two of the North End Water Pollution Control Centre to protect Lake Winnipeg for generations to come; and
funding – restoring funding to environmental and climate organizations for advocacy and research.

Consultations on a roadmap to net-zero with Indigenous nations, municipalities, environmental organizations, businesses, industry and Manitobans will take place until the fall. The roadmap will be guided by climate science, traditional knowledge and by Indigenous principles of responsibility and reciprocity, recognizing the importance of respectful relationships with the land, water and future generations, noted the minister.

“Our government is bringing people together to build a cleaner economy and healthier communities for everyone who calls Manitoba home, and we want to hear from Manitobans about the vision for this future,” said Moyes.
