"Greenhouse gases (GHGs) trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, just as the glass of a greenhouse keeps warm air inside. Human activity increases the amount of GHG in the atmosphere. As a result, more heat is being trapped and the temperature of the planet is increasing. Under the Paris Agreement, Canada has committed to reducing GHG emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. This indicator tracks Canada's progress towards meeting its target"--Page 5.
"The Carbon Dioxide Emissions from a Consumption Perspective indicator provides a view of the impact of Canada's consumption of goods and services, regardless of where they are produced, on the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere. It is accounting for emissions associated with products and services consumed in Canada and produced either domestically or abroad. The indicator also reports on Canada's CO2 emissions resulting from the production of goods and services that are consumed in Canada, as well as emissions produced in Canada and exported to other countries"--Description, p. 8.
