The public sector Climate Change Accountability Reports (CCAR) are annual reports through which all provincial public sector organizations (PSOs) publicly disclose details related to their achievement of carbon neutrality.
CCAR reporting provides a record of each PSO’s greenhouse gas emissions, offset purchases and reduction plans and actions. The CCAR offers a valuable idea bank for organizations seeking to reduce their own energy use and carbon footprint.
PSO Climate Change Accountability Reports are available to view in the Annual reports and CCARs table.
See the Carbon Neutral Government program requirements for 2022 reporting year timelines.
Year | 2010 (baseline) |
2022 | % Reduction |
---|---|---|---|
Total Emissions | 848,302 | 768,908 | 9 |
Offset Exempt Emissions (1) | 78,781 | 68,738 | n/a |
Bio-CO2 Emissions (2) | 5,039 | 52,096 | n/a |
Net Offsettable Emissions | 764,483 | 648,073 | 15 |
Total fossil fuel emissions (5) | 843,263 | 716,811 | 13 |
Notes:
(1) In accordance with the Carbon Neutral Government Regulation, emissions from school and transit buses must be reported, but are exempt from offset requirements.
(2) Bio-CO2 emissions are produced from the combustion of biogenic fuels (e.g., wood waste for heating, renewable vehicle fuels) and are also offset exempt.
(3) In addition to the 648,073 offsets required for 2022, an additional 860 offsets were retired to reflect adjustments to previously reported years to ensure all regulated emissions were accounted for.
(4) Due to rounding, numbers presented above may not add up precisely to the totals reported.
(5) Fossil fuel emissions exclude all Bio-CO2.
