Part 2 and Part 3 data files can be accessed by clicking on the “Explore” button below, then “Go to resource”.



Description of the content of each folder:

A-IPCC Sector: Contains various greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions files by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sector and by gas, for all years, for Canada and for provinces and territories.



B-Economic Sector: Contains various GHG emissions files by Economic sectors, for all years for Canada and for the latest year for provinces and territories. In the EN_GHG_Econ_Canada file, a tab containing the relationship between IPCC sector and Economic sector is also provided. Emissions are also presented by gas for Canada and for the provinces and territories.



C-Tables Electricity Canada Provinces Territories: Contains summary and GHG intensity tables for Electricity in Canada.



D-Emission Factors: Contains files with information on emission factors.



E-LULUCF: Contains time-series estimates for the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector, geomatics files containing estimates attributed to spatial units, and a multi-year forestry improvement plan.

F-Agriculture: Contains time-series estimates for the Agriculture sector and geomatics files containing estimates attributed to spatial units.



G-Additional NIR Annexes: Contains Annex 1 (key categories), Annex 2 (uncertainty), Annex 3 (methodologies), Annex 4 (sectoral and reference approaches, and national energy balance), Annex 5 (completeness), Annex 7 (ozone and aerosol precursors) and Annex 8 (rounding protocol) of the National Inventory Report (NIR).
