In accounting for industries’ effects, Canada credits logging for carbon sequestering done naturally by trees.
As world leaders prepare to gather in Egypt for the annual COP climate summit next week, more than 70 environmental, health and Indigenous groups are calling on the Canadian government to come clean on the real carbon footprint of logging.
“This is in contrast to other large economic sectors, whose emissions are clearly reported,” the letter reads. “Canada will not meet its 2030 climate and nature commitments unless all economic sectors take action to reduce GHG emissions.” “It’s just not true and it’s distracting from the real emissions reductions that we need from fossil fuels and the protections we need for forests and biodiversity,” said Ritchlin.
“When we look at these forests what we should be seeing is an ally in that fight and not just a resource to be exploited for wood products.” Asked about the report at a climate conference in Ottawa last month, Wilkinson said that Canada follows international standards when accounting for carbon emitted and absorbed by forests.
