Household greenhouse gas emissions per capita, by province and territory, 2018

Map description

The title of the map is "Household greenhouse gas emissions per capita, by province and territory, 2018"

The title of the map is "Household greenhouse gas emissions per capita, by province and territory, 2018."

Provincial boundaries are outlined in white, with surrounding land masses and water bodies also coloured white, except for the Great Lakes, which are shaded blue. The Canadian provinces and Great Lakes are the only prominent geographic features included on the map. Each province is labelled in black text, with the label inside the larger provinces and adjacent to the smaller provinces. Under each province label is a dark grey arrow, either pointing up to represent an increase of emissions compared with emissions from 2009 or pointing down for a decrease of emissions compared with 2009. On the right side of each arrow is a value, in tonnes per capita, displaying the magnitude of change between 2009 and 2018 emissions for the corresponding province.

The title of the legend in the top left corner is "Tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per capita in 2018," and the legend displays five ranges of per capita emissions corresponding to a colour gradient that darkens as per capita emissions increase. A secondary legend in the top right corner displays an up arrow with a label stating "Increase in tonnes per capita since 2009" and a down arrow below it with a label stating "Decrease in tonnes per capita since 2009."

The lightest colour is pale pink and corresponds to a range of emissions from 1.5 to less than 3.1. Nunavut is shaded pale pink.

Pink corresponds to a range of emissions from 3.1 to less than 3.9. Yukon, the Northwest Territories, British Columbia and Manitoba are shaded pink.

Orange corresponds to a range of emissions from 3.9 to less than 4.9. Ontario and Quebec are shaded orange.

Dark orange corresponds to a range of emissions from 4.9 to less than 5.9. Alberta, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick are shaded dark orange.

Red-brown corresponds to a range of emissions from 5.9 to less than 6.3. Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island are shaded red-brown.
