Published by Statistics Canada, 2008. This is an annual publication. The 2007-2008 edition was released May 2008. The previous 2006 edition was released November 2006. Description: |
| Human Activity and the
Environment: Annual Statistics 2007-2008 is the annual update of the more
extensive quinquennial, environment statistics compendium, Human Activity and the Environment. The larger
compendium provides extensive data, analysis and interpretation on population,
economic activities, the environment and the issues linking these key elements.
With emphasis on human activity and its relationship to natural systems-air, water, soil, plants and animals, Human Activity and the Environment: Annual Statistics (HAE) presents a compendium of maps, tables and figures punctuated with simple analysis and interpretation, which together paint a statistical portrait of Canada’s environment. In addition, each issue of HAE includes a feature article covering a current environmental issue of concern to Canadians. Divided into three sections, the compendium is organized using the state-pressure-response framework, in which information is classified as measuring the state of the physical environment at a point in time, the pressure placed on the environment by human activities, or the socio-economic response to environmental conditions. The report includes 91 data tables, 14 charts and 7 maps, along with data highlights that briefly describe notable developments in relation to human activity and the environment to help the reader navigate through the data holdings. The 2007-2008 edition also contains the feature article, “Climate Change in Canada, 1990 to 2005, ” which begins with an explanation of the science necessary to explore this topic. The article examines greenhouse gas emissions in Canada, investigating the driving forces behind those emissions and how those forces may have changed over time. It illustrates some of the impacts of climate change on our land, wildlife and peoples. The article concludes with a presentation of the activities that Canadians, industry and governments are undertaking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the changing climate, and also profiles some promising areas for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the future. HAE also provides a comprehensive set of data describing how Canadians interact with the environment. It includes data on topics such as climate, natural resources, ecosystems, and environmental practices. Contents include:
