Canada's GHG Inventory

As a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Canada is obliged to submit an inventory of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on an annual basis. Environment Canada, in consultation with a range of stakeholders, is responsible for preparing Canada's official national inventory.

Using an internationally agreed-upon format, Canada's Greenhouse Gas Inventory monitors six gases: carbon dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It also provides an analysis of the factors underlying the trends in emissions since 1990. Emissions and removals are grouped into six sectors: Energy; Industrial Processes; Solvent and Other Product Use; Agriculture; Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry and Waste.

The summary report is available:
