The federal government is on its 2035 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.

Canadians and Indigenous peoples across the country can share their thoughts in a forum from now until March 28.

The government says public input will help inform and set Canada's 2035 national . This step is also mandated under the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act and Canada's international obligations under the Paris Agreement.

The government already has a target of by 20 per cent below 2005 levels by 2026, and 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.

"Today, following successive climate plans, 鈥 we are now projected to exceed Canada's interim objective of 20 per cent below 2005 levels by 2026,鈥 the release reads.

"We are also on the right trajectory to meet our 2030 goals, with many of the important building blocks needed for net zero already in place across all sectors of the economy."

The input from the public engagement session is one of "several components" the government says it鈥檚 considering as it looks to set the 2035 target.

"Through the efforts of millions of Canadians from coast to coast to coast, we have been bending the curve on pollution, putting us on track to meet our climate targets," Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault said in the release.
