- Articles and reports: 11F0019M2025009Description: Despite Canada’s ambitious climate goals and the global transition toward more sustainable economic development models, empirical evidence on how the green transition affects Canada’s productivity growth is limited because of a lack of comprehensive data. This study fills this gap in two steps. First, it constructs a first-of-its-kind measure of green intensity at the detailed industry level by synthesizing multidimensional data, including information on green outputs and processes. Second, it investigates productivity dynamics by decomposing productivity growth using this newly developed green index.Release date: 2025-12-08

- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 1903Description: The Environmental Protection Expenditures Survey provides a measure of the costs incurred by Canadian industries to protect the environment, whether or not they are in response to current or anticipated Canadian or international environmental regulations, conventions or voluntary agreements. The survey also collects information on the goods, technologies and services purchased by industries as well as the processes and practices adopted by them to protect the environment. Data from the survey are used predominantly by policy analysts and by both industry and academic researchers. Data may be used to monitor expenditure trends within industry groups or provinces for the purpose of developing business or research and development strategies, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of policy.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 2009Description: This survey collects information that will help Canadians understand the contributions made by waste management industry to Canada's economy and environment.

- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 3881Description: The Households and the Environment Survey (HES) measures the environmental practices and behaviours of Canadian households that relate to the condition of our air, water and soils. The survey was also designed to collect data to develop and improve three key environmental indicators: air quality, water quality and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5044Description: This survey, focusing on both livestock and crop operations, will allow the establishment of base lines and development of updates for an expanded set of agri-environmental indicators, and generate the information to design effective and well targeted policy and program responses.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5081Description: The survey collects, analyses and publishes information on industrial greenhouse gas emissions to support Canada's national and international reporting obligations and the public interest as it relates to climate change and the environment.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5114Description: Natural resource asset accounts are one of the main elements of the United Nations System of Environmental-Economic Accounting which was adopted as an international statistical standard in 2012. Natural resource asset accounts measure quantities of natural resource assets (oil, natural gas, minerals, and timber) and the annual changes in these assets due to natural processes and human activity. These accounts, which are recorded using both physical and monetary units, form the basis of the estimates of Canada's natural resource wealth that are integrated into the Canadian national balance sheet accounts.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5115Description: Physical flow accounts are one of the main elements of the United Nations System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) which was adopted as an international statistical standard in 2012. These accounts record, in physical units of measure, the supply and use of natural inputs (e.g. cubic metres of water), products (e.g. terajoules of gasoline), and residuals (e.g. kilotonnes of carbon dioxide emissions).
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5120Description: This survey is being conducted to provide Canadians with national and regional indicators related to the use of water in industry.
