Canada's Early Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report Shows Progress
The Government of Canada released an early summary of its 2023 greenhouse gas emissions estimates, showing a reduction to 694 megatonnes, a 6 megatonne decrease from the previous year. This reduction is equivalent to removing over 1.8 million cars from the road for a year. The report marks the lowest emission levels in 27 years, excluding pandemic years. The government plans to finalize pollution reduction measures in the oil and gas industry in 2025, a sector critical for meeting national climate objectives.
