The Canadian Climate Institute says if current trends continue, emissions are projected to be 20 per cent to 25 per cent under 2005 levels by 2030, well under the legislated target of 40 per cent to 45 per cent below.

Canada made no progress reducing total greenhouse-gas emissions last year, and weakening federal and provincial climate policies make it certain that the country will fall far short of its 2030 target, according to data compiled by a climate think tank.

In an early estimate, the Canadian Climate Institute said emission-reduction momentum has stalled nationally, remaining at 8.5 per cent below 2005 levels, about the same as in 2023, with oil and gas accounting for a large and growing share.

On the current trajectory, emissions are on track to be 20 per cent to 25 per cent
