Canada's greenhouse gas emissions : developments, prospects and reductions.: YN5-95/2016E-PDF

"For its part, the Government of Canada announced plans in May 2015 to reduce the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.This report outlines economic impacts and potential costs of reaching this target, as well as noting sources of downside cost risks. It does so by combining historical trends in intensity of emissions per GDP with the Parliamentary Budget Officer’s projection of the Canadian economy to 2030. The purpose is to determine the magnitude of reductions that will be necessary."
