Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : progress towards Canada's greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.: En4-144/48-2018E-PDF

"Greenhouse gases (GHGs) trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, just as the glass of a greenhouse keeps warm air inside. Human activity increases the amount of GHG in the atmosphere. As a result, more heat is being trapped and the temperature of the planet is increasing. Under the Paris Agreement, Canada has committed to reducing GHG emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. This indicator tracks Canada's progress towards meeting its target"--P. 5.
