“We will see year-on-year reductions — absolute reductions — starting in 2020, through to 2030. We have high confidence that’s actually going to be the case,” he said.Everyone familiar with the data knew in 2021, when Wilkinson made his claim, that Canada’s emissions would be lower in 2020 compared to 2019 because of the global recession caused by the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But even with that drop in an outlier year for emissions, Canada didn’t come close to meeting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s target that Canada’s emissions in 2020 would be 17% below 2005 levels.
