OTTAWA — Environment and Climate Change Canada quietly released a new report this month that shows a small decline in greenhouse gas emissions but projects Canada won’t meet its climate targets by 2030 unless new measures are introduced.

Climate experts say the report, posted online without fanfare or press release on April 13, tells a story of inertia.

“Look around you. Look at buildings, cars, factories. There’s your emissions,” Mark Jaccard, of Simon Fraser University, said Friday.

“I think the message out of these is, in some ways, how much inertia there is in these systems. 2014 to 2015, most of us are driving the same car, most of us are living in the same house. Most of us are working in the same jobs. The factories we have are the same,” Andrew Leach, at the University of Alberta, said. “They’re slow changes in all those pieces of the puzzle.”

Canada is supposed to submit such reports to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change every year by April 15. The UN body met in December 2015 to sign the Paris Agreement, which seeks to cap global warming at two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, while aiming, at the behest of Canada, for 1.5 C warming at most.
