SUMMARY - Who Emits What? Understanding Canada’s Carbon Footprint

Canada's greenhouse gas emissions total roughly 670 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually—about 1.5% of global emissions. This modest global share is often invoked to minimize Canada's climate responsibility. But per capita, Canada is among the world's highest emitters, and the composition of those emissions reveals much about Canadian economy and society. Understanding who emits what, and why, is essential for identifying effective reduction strategies.
