Countries account for emissions based on all activities that happen within their territory, which means countries that export more than they import will likely have higher per capita emissions.
The policy response to COVID-19 has been dramatic, unlike the response to climate change, for several reasons. But it shows there’s hope for real action on climate change.
Philanthropy in the form of financial donations is not a solution to the natural disasters caused by climate change. A new philanthropy of social change is needed.

The continued upward trend in our second-biggest source of emissions is a result of government inaction on a transport mix dominated by trucks and cars and a lack of fuel-efficiency standards.
Energy-efficiency initiatives are consistently identified as the lowest impact and most cost-effective means of meeting energy needs. Why isn’t Ontario focusing on them?
Carbon accounting isn’t always simple, so it’s important to make it easier to measure and reduce emissions at the local level. And that’s ultimately the starting point for global climate action.
