Welcome to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reporting Website.

Accurate tracking of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions is an important part of assessing Canada's overall environmental performance. By providing a more precise picture of the sources and amounts of Canada’s GHG emissions, the GHG Emissions Reporting program will contribute to the development, implementation and evaluation of climate change and energy use policies and strategies.

The federal government continues to work in partnership with the provinces and territories to develop an efficient, harmonized, "single-window" domestic reporting system for GHG emissions that supports three complementary objectives:

• to provide Canadians with information on GHG emissions;
• to enhance the level of detail of the National GHG Inventory; and
• to meet provincial and territorial reporting requirements for GHG emissions and related information.

This website contains information about registration and reporting, technical requirements, and links to other related sites. Information presented here will be updated on an ongoing basis as the phases of reporting are implemented.

Statistics Canada, as the selected reporting vehicle, will jointly collect the information under the authority of the Statistics Act, as well as the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 and the Climate Change and Emissions Management Act (Alberta Government). More information on legal authorities is provided in this website.
