- Articles and reports: 11-637-X202200100013Description: As the thirteenth goal outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Canada and other UN member states have committed to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts by 2030. This 2024 infographic provides an overview of indicators underlying the thirteenth Sustainable Development Goal in support of climate action, and the statistics and data sources used to monitor and report on this goal in Canada.Release date: 2024-01-25
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202400100002Description: The increase in work from home triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic directly decreased public transit use. While this increase in work from home likely reduced commuting and greenhouse gas emissions caused by transportation, it also put downward pressure on the revenues and ridership of urban public transit systems. This article assesses the degree to which the increase in work from home observed in Canada in recent years may have reduced the number of public transit commuters from 2016 to 2023 in urban areas.Release date: 2024-01-24
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100400005Description: The increase in telework observed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic shows that far more workers are able to work from home than had been observed prior to the pandemic.
The economic costs of the pandemic to this point have been significant and pervasive, both in Canada and other countries. However, the rapid labour market adjustment to telework offers some potential longer-term benefits for a variety of reasons. More broadly, from urban planning and environmental perspectives, more widespread adoption of telework would result in less commuter traffic and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study estimates the extent to which commuter traffic would decrease, which modes of transportation would see the largest decreases and the resulting implications for GHG emissions if the Canadian economy were to operate at its maximum telework capacity, expressed relative to the commuter levels that prevailed before the pandemic.
Release date: 2021-04-22 - Articles and reports: 16-508-X2019004Description: This article presents emissions estimates related to spending on food and beverage products and services. These estimates are based on an input-output model that combines physical flow data on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by industry with economic data on production and consumption of goods and services.Release date: 2019-10-09
- Articles and reports: 16-508-X2019003Description: Environmental management practices are protocols that businesses adopt to reduce their impact on the environment. This fact sheet features the most common environmental management practices per industry group, per size of establishment and per employment share. It also highlights four of the most frequently used environmental practices (environmental management system, energy audit (past 3 years), energy management or monitoring system and greenhouse gas emissions inventory).Release date: 2019-06-19
- Articles and reports: 16-508-X2019002Description: This fact sheet presents forest fire data for British Columbia and discusses various costs and impacts associated with the record area burned in 2018. For example, it covers fire suppression costs, forest fire related greenhouse gas emissions, the Air Quality Health Index, and potentially affected populations, as well as potential impacts on other industries and on ecosystem services.Release date: 2019-05-29
- Articles and reports: 11-626-X2019008Description: This article in the Economic Insights series examines how accounting for greenhouse gas emissions as part of economic activity changes the measurement of productivity growth.Release date: 2019-05-08
- Articles and reports: 11F0019M2019013Description: The need to measure both the desirable outputs (goods and services) and the undesirable outputs (emissions of greenhouse gases [GHGs] and criteria air contaminants [CACs]) from economic activity is becoming increasingly important as economic performance and environmental performance become ever more intertwined. Standard measures of multifactor productivity (MFP) growth provide insights into rising standards of living and the performance of economies, but they may be misleading if only desirable outputs are considered. This study presents estimates of environmentally adjusted multifactor productivity (EAMFP) growth using a new comprehensive database. This database contains information on GHG and CAC emissions, as well as on the production activities of Canadian manufacturers.Release date: 2019-05-08
- Articles and reports: 16-002-X201100411600Geography: CanadaDescription: Although the location of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is not important as far as their contribution to global warming is concerned, it can be useful to know how final domestic expenditures on products and services in Canada cause emissions in other countries and conversely, how final expenditures elsewhere cause emissions in Canada. This article uses a novel multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model to trace the connections between domestic final expenditures on goods and services in one country and the resulting GHG emissions in another.Release date: 2011-12-08
- Articles and reports: 16-001-M2010012Description:
The paper examines the contribution of the household sector to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada, through its use of private motor vehicles. Emissions estimates are presented at national, provincial and census metropolitan area (CMA) levels. The study uses data from the Canadian Vehicle Survey (CVS), conducted by Statistics Canada's Transportation Division and the Material and Energy Flow Accounts (MEFA) from Environment Accounts and Energy Statistics Division (EASD).
At the national level the study presents estimates of vehicle emissions, GHG intensity, as well as per capita emissions. Total and per capita emissions by income group are also presented at the national level. At the provincial and CMA levels, the study presents the first survey based estimates of total and per capita vehicle emissions. It also explores the regional differences and examines the contributing factors.
