region, it could have a little something to do with the 2.2-million-tonne increase in carbon emissions recorded in the country's most populous urban area last year.
This leap may not seem like such a big deal on the surface, but it looks especially bad when considering the region needed to actually decrease its carbon emissions by eight per cent last year to hit our increasingly unlikely 2030 climate targets.Every municipality registered carbon emissions increases last year, but if you're looking for who to blame the most, figures show that carbon increases varied by massive ranges for different areas of the region.
Transportation emissions increased by 2.3 per cent last year after a huge drop in 2020 for fairly obvious reasons. But transportation emissions only accounted for 31.4 per cent of the total last year, eclipsed by buildings at 44.1 per cent. Emissions from electricity generation jumped by an unbelievable 28 per cent in 2021 as the region inexplicably leans on natural gas plants.
