Canada’s greenhouse gas emission up 2.1 per cent from last year due to oil and gas production, cold winter: report

The independent estimate published on Thursday by 440 Megatonnes, a project of the Canadian Climate Institute, revealed that in 2022, Canada's total emissions increased by 2.1 per cent compared to the previous year.

According to the report, despite the slight increase observed in 2022, Canada's overall emissions were still 6.3 per cent below 2005 levels which appears significantly below the country's 2030 target of reducing emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels. The increase in emissions from buildings was primarily due to increased heating from a colder winter, according to the report.
