This is an annual publication. The 2011 edition was released June 2011.

Description:

Human Activity and the Environment 2011 is based on the analytical article "Economy and the environment." The report starts with a discussion of how the economy and the environment can be linked in conceptual terms (Section 2). It then presents Canada's environment in the international context (Section 3). Sections 4, 5, and 6 highlight Canada's endowment of natural resources and underline their role in our economy with statistics on timber, energy, minerals, land, and fresh water. Section 7 focuses on the flow of materials and energy between the economy and the environment with statistics on the intensity of energy use and resulting greenhouse gas emissions. Finally, Section 8 presents a selection of statistics on what households, businesses, and governments are doing to reduce their impact on the environment.

Data come from Statistics Canada and other sources, including other federal government departments and international organizations.
