Global greenhouse gas emissions
The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Global greenhouse gas emissions indicator reports global human emissions of GHGs from 1990 to 2021. The Greenhouse gas emissions by country indicator reports emissions coming from the top 10 total emitting countries and regions and Canada for 2005 and 2021. Both indicators measure total and per capita emissions. Emissions from energy and non-energy related sources are included in this indicator, while emissions from land use, land use change, and forestry are excluded. The emissions of GHGs include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulphur hexafluoride. The indicator provides a global perspective on the world's historical GHG emissions and Canada's part in global GHG emissions, both in total and per capita. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.
