According to a report by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce (CCC) released on December 13, 2018, Canada's largest business group endorsed the carbon pricing introduced by the federal government, [36] saying it offers flexibility and is the "most efficient way to cut emissions" [37] and "solidly backs carbon pricing."
The following table lists the 1970, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual per capita GHG [n 1] emissions estimates (in metric tons of CO 2 equivalent per year). The data include carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) from all sources, including agriculture and land use change. They are measured in carbon ...
The following table lists the 1970, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 annual GHG [n 1] emissions estimates (in kilotons of CO 2 equivalent per year) along with a list of calculated emissions per capita (in metric tons of CO 2 equivalent per year).
The carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e or CO 2 eq or CO 2-e or CO 2-eq) can be calculated from the GWP. For any gas, it is the mass of CO 2 that would warm the earth as much as the mass of that gas. Thus it provides a common scale for measuring the climate effects of different gases.
The Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act [a] (French: Loi sur la tarification de la pollution causée par les gaz à effet de serre) is a Canadian federal law establishing a set of minimum national standards for carbon pricing in Canada to meet emission reduction targets under the Paris Agreement. [2]
Canada was the world's 7th largest greenhouse gas emitter in terms of GHG Inventory data, as of 2021. [5] In 2020, Canada emitted a total of 678 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO 2 eq) into the atmosphere.
The carbon footprint explained Comparison of the carbon footprint of protein-rich foods [1]. A formal definition of carbon footprint is as follows: "A measure of the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) emissions of a defined population, system or activity, considering all relevant sources, sinks and storage within the spatial and temporal boundary of the population, system ...
This is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita carbon dioxide emissions [n 1] due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission. The following table lists the annual per capita CO 2 emissions estimates (in kilotons of CO 2 per year) for the year 2023, as well as the change from ...
