Transport Canada's reported carbon emissions
Transport Canada currently does not have available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of specific figures. However, the organisation has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from federal government facilities and fleets.
Transport Canada aims to achieve a reduction of 40% in GHG emissions below 2005 levels by 2030, with an aspiration to meet this target by 2025. Furthermore, the long-term goal is to reduce emissions by 80% below 2005 levels by 2050, with an aspiration to attain carbon neutrality. These targets apply to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
In addition to these reduction targets, the Government of Canada is committed to transitioning to low-carbon, climate-resilient, and green operations by 2050. This commitment reflects a broader strategy to enhance sustainability and mitigate climate change impacts within federal operations.
Overall, while specific emissions data is not available, Transport Canada's proactive approach to setting reduction targets demonstrates its commitment to addressing climate change and reducing its carbon footprint.
