Most countries report emissions to the United Nations in April, but the data is still two years behind.
Canada's latest report indicates that in 2018, Canada's total emissions were 729 million tonnes of carbon dioxide and its equivalents.
This is an increase from the 714 million tonnes emitted a year earlier and is just below the 730 million tonnes emitted by Canada in 2005.
Canada is committed to reducing emissions to 70% of 2005 levels by 2030.
Two-thirds of the increase came from road transportation, as well as from oil and gas extraction and processing, the additional emissions of which were, however, offset by a significant decrease in emissions caused by the reduction in the amount of coal that Canada uses to generate electricity.
