Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : greenhouse gas emissions.: En4-144/18-2022E-PDF
"Climate change is one of the most important environmental issues of our time. Climate change is caused by the increase in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. These increases are primarily due to GHG emissions resulting from human activities such as the use of fossil fuels or agriculture. This changing climate has impacts on the environment, human health and the economy. The indicators report estimates of Canada's emissions of GHGs over time. … The latest year reported (2020) coincides with the 1st year of the COVID-19 pandemic which strongly affected a wide range of economic sectors, including the energy and transport sectors. The long-term trends presented must be interpreted with caution as the economic slowdown influenced results from 2019 to 2020"--Page 5.
