OMNI Features｜Canada is Expected to Meet its 2030 Carbon Reduction Target Despite a Rise in Carbon Emissions in 2022．90% of Singaporeans Value Integrated Financial and Sustainability Reporting．TWSE Launches New Version of ESG Digital Platform
The Canadian government's 2021 greenhouse gas emissions report indicates a decline due to COVID-19 but a slight increase in 2022, still 7.1% below 2005 levels. Steven Guilbeault, the Minister of Environment & Climate Change, stated this demonstrates Canada's progress towards its 2030 emissions reduction goals. The report cites transportation, construction, and some energy sectors as the main contributors to the 2021 carbon increase. However, carbon intensity per unit of GDP continues to decrease. While the oil and gas industry remains the largest emitter, the transportation sector is transitioning with the development of electric vehicles. The government plans to sustain emission reductions through oil and gas emissions limits and investment in the electric vehicle supply chain, with draft regulations expected before fall.
