Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act - 2024 report : independent auditor's report.FA1-26/2024-1-7E-PDF

"The Government of Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% to 45% below 2005 levels by 2030 and to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. In 2022, Canada’s total greenhouse gas emissions were 708 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2 eq), not including the land use, land-use change, and forestry accounting contributions. This represented a decrease of 7.1% (54 Mt CO2 eq) from 2005 but an increase of 16% from 1990 (Exhibit 7.1). To meet the 2030 target, the greatest share of emissions reductions will need to occur in the next 6 years. Canada remains the worst performer among all member countries of the Group of Seven since 1990 and 2005 (Exhibit 7.2)"--Introduction, page 1.
