The emissions observed in 2021 remained below the pre-pandemic level of 2019.Īccording to the greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator developed by Natural Resources Canada, the 62 Mt CO 2 eq emission reduction for the period from 2005 to 2021 is equivalent to: Following the partial recovery of economic activities in 2021, a rebound in the emissions was observed compared to 2020 (+12 Mt CO 2 eq). These impacts contributed to the GHG emission decrease, especially in the transport sector where a 16% decrease was observed between 20. The confinement measures introduced in 2020 due to the pandemic created an industrial slowdown and important reductions in trade and travel by air and land. The 8.4% decrease in GHG emissions between 20 was mainly a result of emission reductions from the electricity and heavy industry sectors. Canada's overall emissions growth over the 1990 to 2021 period was driven primarily by increased emissions from the oil and gas as well as the transport sectors. While the overall trend between 19 was an increase in GHG emissions, some sectors that saw a decrease.

Consult the interactive figures to explore the national results in a dynamic and customizable format. Emissions and removals from the land use, land use change and forestry sector (LULUCF) are excluded from national totals to allow for a focus on greenhouse gas released from human activity only. Emission levels for some years have been revised in light of improvements to estimation methods and availability of new data. The national indicator tracks 7 greenhouse gases released by human activity: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulphur hexafluoride, perfluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons and nitrogen trifluoride. Note: Data are presented as rounded figures. Note: Data are presented as rounded figures. The long-term trends presented must be interpreted in the context of the economic slowdown that influenced results from 2019 to 2021. The latest year reported (2021) coincides with the 2nd year of the COVID-19 pandemic which affected a wide range of economic sectors, including the energy and transport sectors. Historically, following Canada's ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, the base year was 1990. In 2021, Canada committed to reduce its GHG emissions by 40‑45 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. Since 2015 and the signing of the Paris Agreement, Canada adopted 2005 as the base year for its GHG emission reduction target. The indicators report estimates of Canada's emissions of GHGs over time. This changing climate has impacts on the environment, human health and the economy. These increases are primarily due to GHG emissions resulting from human activities such as the use of fossil fuels or agriculture. Climate change is caused by the increase in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere.
The annual growth rate for electric car sales in 2022 was similar to the average rate over 2015-2018, and the annual growth rate for the global stock of electric cars in 2022 was similar to that of 2021 and over the 2015-2018 period, showing a robust recovery of EV market expansion to pre-pandemic pace.Climate change is one of the most important environmental issues of our time. The increase in sales from 2021 to 2022 was just as high as from 2020 to 2021 in absolute terms – up 3.5 million – but relative growth was lower (sales doubled from 2020 to 2021). Increasing sales pushed the total number of electric cars on the world’s roads to 26 million, up 60% relative to 2021, with BEVs accounting for over 70% of total annual growth, as in previous years. The share of electric cars in total car sales jumped from 9% in 2021 to 14% in 2022, more than 10 times their share in 2017. In the course of just five years, from 2017 to 2022, EV sales jumped from around 1 million to more than 10 million, underscoring the exponential nature of EV sales growth. Electric car sales saw another record year in 2022, despite supply chain disruptions, macro-economic and geopolitical uncertainty, and high commodity and energy prices.
