What happened
The Canadian Climate Institute released preliminary findings indicating that Canada produced approximately 691 megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in 2025. This figure represents an increase of six megatonnes, or about one percent, compared to 2024. The rise was largely attributed to increased natural gas consumption for heating buildings and generating electricity.
Why it matters
The increase in emissions reverses recent progress toward Canada's climate targets. The report noted that the proportion of electricity generated from non-emitting sources declined from 84 percent in 2020 to 80 percent, despite continued growth in hydroelectric, wind, and solar power generation.
