Partnership also expects CAD 2 billion to be spent on programmes and activities that are cost shared between federal (60%) and provincial/territorial governments (40%) that will be delivered by provinces/territories to ensure that programmes are tailored to meet regional needs. The Partnership's cost-shared programming with provinces/territories focuses on the following six priority areas:
(...)
• environmental sustainability and climate change – building sector capacity to mitigate agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, protect the environment, and adapt to climate change by enhancing sustainable growth, while increasing production;

Following Canada's ratification of the Paris Agreement on 5 October 2016, a comprehensive plan, known as the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change (PCF), was adopted to reduce emissions across all sectors in Canada, including agriculture. The PCF identifies three agriculture-related actions: increasing stored carbon in agricultural soils, to partially offset emissions from the sector; generating bioenergy and bioproducts to displace emissions in other economic sectors; and advancing innovation in GHG-efficient management practices to reduce agricultural emissions and emission intensity. Over the period 2018-23, the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector's contribution to the PCF will be primarily delivered through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (the Partnership). Climate actions are supported by three types of programmes under the Partnership: federal-only programmes that help support the resiliency and sustainability of the sector through science, research and adoption of innovative practices and technologies; federal-provincial/territorial (FPT) cost-shared on-farm programmes delivered by provinces and territories (PTs) that build producer awareness of environmental risks and accelerate the adoption of technologies and practices to reduce these risks; and BRM programmes that are demand-driven and help farmers manage significant risks threatening the viability of their operations. Federal programmes and initiatives outside of the Partnership that also contribute to progress on agriculture-related actions identified under the PCF include the Agricultural Clean Technology Program; the Living Laboratories Initiative; and the Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program.
