Canada's greenhouse gas emissions have declined slightly in 2023, largely due to climate policies and clean energy initiatives, despite economic and population growth putting upward pressure on emissions. A report from the Canadian Climate Institute indicates that emissions decreased by about 1% compared to 2022, although oil and gas production, as well as air travel, have hindered more significant progress. The Canadian government aims to cut emissions by 40-45% from 2005 levels by 2030, but some analysts believe this goal could be met without the consumer carbon tax, which faces political pressure for removal. The electricity sector has shown notable progress, cutting emissions by 6.2% year-over-year, while household heating and transportation remain significant contributors to emissions. Despite the challenges, the Canadian Climate Institute emphasizes the need for accelerated policies across various sectors to enhance reductions. Meanwhile, London, UK, struggles to meet its emissions targets, with household changes remaining a key hurdle.
