- 1. British Columbia’s forest fires, 2018 ArchivedArticles 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: 16-002-X201600114570Description: This study uses the Households and the Environment Survey along with the Waste Management Industry Survey, to examine the disposal and diversion activities of Canadian households from 2002 to 2013, focusing on electronic waste.Release date: 2016-05-24
- Articles and reports: 16-002-X201100411601Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study looks at use and disposal of compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) in 2009, using data from the Households and the Environment Survey.
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.
Release date: 2010-05-13 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X200800210623Geography: CanadaDescription: This study compares businesses' greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction activities and expenditures by establishment size using data from the Survey of Environmental Protection Expenditures.Release date: 2008-06-25
- 6. Climate change in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-201-X200700010542Geography: CanadaDescription: The article "Climate Change in Canada" begins with an explanation of the science necessary to explore this topic. It continues to examine greenhouse gas emissions in Canada, investigating the driving forces behind those emissions and how those forces may have changed over time. It illustrates some of the impacts of climate change on our land, wildlife and peoples. The article concludes with a presentation of the activities that Canadians, industry and governments are undertaking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the changing climate, and also profiles some promising areas for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the future.Release date: 2008-04-22
- 7. Home heating and the environment ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20050049126Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using the Survey of Household Facilities and Equipment and the Survey of Household Spending, this article shows that, since the 1940s, Canadians have rapidly adopted new energy sources for household heating. It then shows how these important changes have affected greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the residential sector in recent decades.
Release date: 2006-03-21 - Articles and reports: 16-001-M2005002Description:
This paper evaluates Canadian industry performance in adopting and developing greenhouse gas (GHG) technologies. It addresses issues concerning business investments in GHG technologies, domestic and international market access for Canadian GHG technology producers, and the process of innovation for GHG technology development. The analysis is based on the results of the 2002 Survey of Environmental Protection Expenditures (SEPE) and the 2002 Environment Industry Survey (EIS).
Release date: 2005-10-05 - Articles and reports: 11F0027M2003015Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper examines eco-efficiency, the pattern of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per unit of output, between 1990 and 1996.
Release date: 2003-09-16 - Articles and reports: 11-624-M2003001Geography: CanadaDescription: This paper looks at Canada's greenhouse gas emissions and provincial changes in eco-efficiency.Release date: 2003-05-30
