Canada's GHG Inventory

As a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Canada is obliged to submit an inventory of its GHG emissions on an annual basis.

Canada's GHG Inventory for 2003 - the eleventh in total, and the third since Canada's decision to ratify the Kyoto Protocol - was submitted on April 15, 2005, as required by the UNFCCC.

Using an internationally agreed-to format, the Inventory monitors six gases: carbon dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Emissions and removals are grouped into six sectors: Energy, Industrial Processes, Solvent and Other Product Use, Agriculture, Land-Use Change and Forestry, and Waste.
