Quebec Premier Jean Charest announced in Montreal today that Quebec will cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% from 1990 levels by 2020, and will do so by investing in public transportation and reviewing provincial planning laws to slow urban sprawl.
Charest calls it one of the most ambitious targets in North America, with Canada's goal being only a 20% cut from 2006 levels (working out to just a 3% cut from 1990 levels).
