Fisheries and Oceans Canada's reported carbon emissions
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) currently does not have available emissions data for the most recent year, as no specific figures have been provided. Consequently, there are no reported carbon emissions in kg CO2e, nor are there any documented reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. In the absence of specific emissions data, it is important to note that DFO is likely engaged in broader climate initiatives typical of governmental bodies in Canada. These may include commitments to sustainability and environmental stewardship, aligning with national climate goals. However, without concrete figures or targets, the specifics of their climate strategy remain unclear. As the organisation continues to navigate the challenges of climate change, it is expected that they will develop and implement strategies to monitor and reduce their carbon footprint in the future.
