Canada's Kyoto GHG emissions gap analysis

The paper describes the Canada's Kyoto GHG emissions gap analysis. It begins by reviewing carbon emission sources inventory, and Kyoto's gap. In the year 2003, Canada's GHG emissions were 24 % above 1990 reference level, and the gap between Canada's Kyoto commitment and total inventoried emissions is becoming more and more alarmingly large. In addition, the increases were exacerbated by particular national circumstances, like growth in fossil fuel production for export. It's deducted that the politics up to date implemented are not sufficiently efficient, and some measures like one tonne challenge are welcoming, but can not effectively help the country to meet its Kyoto target. Despite playing a leading role in international environmental problems and in building a consensus among diverging interests, Canada has not worked sufficiently in the direction of Kyoto's Protocol implementation. The understandable conclusion of gap analysis is that, the government will be in the obligation to pay through Climate Fund for Kyoto flexibility mechanisms (international emission credit, clean development mechanism, or joint implementation), consequently making billions dollars go away the country, without effect in Canadian GHG emissions reduction
