67% cut from 2005 by 2025. Carbon Reduction Goal : Reduce CO2 emissions rate by 67% by 2025 from an adjusted 2005 baseline. This was accelerated in 2021 from a 2050 goal after achieving a 54% reduction from 2005 levels in 2020. For convenience, I lumped coal and oil together as “very high carbon” sources (VHC) in the table.

The new information shows that in 2021 GHG emissions were over eight per cent lower than in 2005. However, to reach the federal government’s 2030 climate targets – a 40-45 per cent reduction from 2005 levels – significantly more reductions are needed. This reduction in emissions is a critical indicator of climate progress.
