Reality Check: Provincial Summaries
The purpose of the following provincial summaries is to provide a snap-shot of current emissions profiles by activity, emissions trends over the past two decades, and key economy-wide and sector-specific emission reductions policies (both proposed and existing). It is not a comprehensive account of all provincial policies and measures.

Climate change plans in the territories
Canada’s three territories — Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut — contributed 1.9 Mt CO2e to Canada’s total GHG emissions in 2009. Yukon and the Northwest Territories have limited the application of GHG emission reductions targets to government operations. Yukon seeks to cap GHG emissions from government operations in 2010, to achieve emission reductions of 20% below 2010 levels by 2015, and to be carbon neutral by 2020. The Northwest Territories has established a target to stabilize emissions from government operations at 2005 levels by 2015, to limit emissions increases to 66% above 2005 levels by 2020, and to return emissions to 2005 levels by 2030. Nunavut has no established target, but has committed to controlling and reducing GHG emissions between 2003 and 2013. Each territory faces challenges on the horizon.
