This petition draws attention to Climate TRACE, a new tool to understand Canada’s output of greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale. The petition suggests using the tool when reporting carbon emissions because its emission values are independently assessed, rather than self-reported by businesses. The petition states that the tool’s values are considerably higher than the federal government’s last values for tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.
The petition asks the federal government when it will adjust and publish revised emission values based on the evidence now available and whether it will publish milestones and create a plausible timeline to reach net zero given the new numbers.
The petition notes that 6 regulations to combat greenhouse gas emissions have been implemented this past year. The petition asks what those regulations are, what impact they will have on lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and what their timelines will be.
