Environment and Climate Change Canada
Environment Canada is committed to protecting the environment, conserving the country’s natural heritage, and providing weather and meteorological information to keep Canadians informed and safe.
www.canada.caHere’s a quick update on Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) based on the latest publicly available information.
- ECCC continues to publish updates on Canada’s climate and environmental indicators, including recent greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data and projections for 2030 and beyond. For example, indicators show 2024 GHG emissions at roughly 685 Mt CO2e, with ongoing progress toward 2030 and 2035 targets, plus year-over-year changes .
- In late 2024, the department released responses to reports from the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, highlighting accountability efforts and ongoing climate actions under Canada’s plan with more than 140 measures to cut pollution .
- The department’s broader program includes work on water management, air quality, species protection, and the transition to a low-carbon economy, with ongoing initiatives such as the Canada Water Agency and updates to wastewater and oil sands water management standards outlined in departmental planning materials .
- For recent press and statements, ECCC-related news releases and government updates are frequently issued through federal channels and major press outlets; a typical month includes releases on climate action progress, regulatory updates, and intergovernmental collaboration on environmental priorities .
