This includes any changes to the reporting requirements under the UNFCCC. Subsection 190(1) of the Act allows the Governor in Council, when making an order to add GHGs or amend GWPs, to take into account any factors that the Governor in Council considers appropriate. footnote 1 This decision refers to the GWP values identified in the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) (PDF) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for a 100-year period. As a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and as a Party to the Paris Agreement, Canada has an international reporting obligation to update GWPs starting with the 2024 edition of its National Inventory Report (NIR), which covers the reporting years 1990 to 2022, in accordance with UNFCCC Decision 18/CMA.1. Knowledge of GWPs has evolved since the publication of the Act. GWPs enable the standardized quantification of GHGs in tonnes of CO 2e. Schedule 3 to the Act lists the GHGs covered under Part 2 of the Act and sets out the global warming potential (GWP) values associated with each GHG. The fuel charge, enabled under Part 1 of the Act, is being updated by the Department of Finance to reflect the minimum national carbon pollution price for 2023 to 2030. This would not align with the minimum national carbon pollution price schedule for the 2023–2030 period, set out in the minimum national stringency standards, referred to as the federal benchmark, which all carbon pricing systems across Canada must meet. The excess emissions charge is currently set at $50 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2e) for 2022 and would remain at that price if no update is made. Schedule 4 to the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (the Act) sets out the excess emissions charge for large industrial emitters under the Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS). Recognizing the need to take action, Canada has implemented the Pan-Canadian Approach to Pricing Carbon Pollution, and will continue to increase the carbon price to 2030 to incentivize further reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which are primary contributors to climate change.
