Canadian emissions rose for the third straight year in 2023, according to the seventy-fourth edition of the venerable “Statistical Review of World Energy” report. The reason I’m turning to data in this report is because Canada won't release its 2023 numbers until next year. This delay, which can exceed two years, keeps Canadians in the dark about where we are and where we are headed.

Many of Canada’s peers in the Group of Seven (G7) nations have already published their 2023 emission estimates — including the United States (U.S.), European Union (E.U.), France, Germany and the United Kingdom (U.K.).

So, to try to provide some current insight into where Canadians are now in the climate fight — and what it will take now to hit our 2030 climate target — I’ve gathered all these numbers and created a series of charts.

The dizzyingly steep path to Canada’s 2030 target

Our cars keep getting bigger, our houses keep getting bigger, even places like walmarts feel like they are getting bigger. We aren't building any electrified transit, we aren't heavily investing in renewable energy sources, we haven't been shifting away from a natural resource based economy.

No one should be surprised Canada's pollution is increasing, overall Canada isn't really trying to reduce it.
