Overall, Manitoba’s GHG emissions in 2019 were 22% higher than in 1990.. Also in 2019, our emissions were 30% above the level we should have been at by 2012 to achieve our Kyoto Protocol target.. Note the emissions dropped from 2007 to 2011.This drop was likely due to trends in economic activity.. Emissions in 2018 were at an all-time high and were nearly as high in 2019. LARGE FINAL EMITTERS (LFE) Large Final Emitters (LFEs) are those facilities that emit 50,000 tonnes (50 kT) or more of carbon dioxide (CO 2) equivalents per year. These facilities are required to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to Statistics Canada. In 2009, the reporting threshold was reduced from 100 kT to 50 kT. This made the reporting more stringent.DRINKING WATER

Answer: Water vapour is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, both by weight and by volume (1), (2). Water vapour is also an effective greenhouse gas, as it does absorb longwave radiation and radiates it back to the surface, thus contributing to warming. When compared to other greenhouse gases, water vapour stays in theatmosphere

GHG EMISSIONS
Overall, Manitoba’s GHG emissions in 2019 were 22% higher than in 1990.. Also in 2019, our emissions were 30% above the level we should have been at by 2012 to achieve our Kyoto Protocol target.. Note the emissions dropped from 2007 to 2011.This drop was likely due to trends in economic activity.. Emissions in 2018 were at an all-time high and were nearly as high in 2019.

It shows what is needed to feed, shelter, transport goods & people, and produce electricity without the use of fossil fuels, with foundational chapters on nature, green jobs, and the human impacts of climate change.

ADAPTATION | CLIMATE CHANGE CONNECTION Commitments to adaptation. The most visible climate change adaptation initiatives of the Manitoba government are modifications to the northern winter road system and the expansion of the Red River floodway. Manitoba is a partner in the Western Climate Initiative (WCI). The WCI Cap-and-Trade Program of July 2008 encourages itspartners to
WHAT YOUR SCHOOL CAN DO What your school can do. Here are the climate-friendly actions that your school can take: Become informed. Create an eco-group. Calculate your school’s carbon footprint. Tackle consumerism. Reduce waste. Make transportation a priority. Click a topic to jump to that topic onthis page.
CO2 EQUIVALENTS
1 x – carbon dioxide (CO2) NOTE: Any carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere will hang around for a long time: between 300 to 1,000 years. All this time, it will be contributing to trapping heat and warming the atmosphere. 84 x – methane (CH4) – I.e. Releasing 1 kg of CH4 into the atmosphere is about equivalent to releasing 84 kg ofCO 2.
CANADA GHG BY SECTOR Canada GHG by sector. From 1990 to 2013, Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increased by about 18.5%.*. (1) Most of this increase (88%) came from the increasing emissions from oil & gas production, refining, and mining industries, (39%) and from increases in transportation emissions (49%).

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES Alternate energy sources. When we speak of alternate energy, we are talking about electrical energy sources that are alternatives to fossil fuels. In this section, we explore several alternative energy sources being used in Manitoba: Hydroelectricity. Hydrogen.WATER IMPACTS

Canada has 9% of the Earth’s freshwater, yet only 0.5% ofthe planet’s population (1).In Manitoba, 100,000 lakes cover approximately 17% or 101,600 km2 of our province’s surface area (2). CANADA GHG BY PROVINCE Figure 1: Canada GHG emissions trend by region – 1990-2013. Figure 1 shows the trends. These were the main contributors: Alberta’s absolute emissions grew by 53%. Saskatchewan’s emissions grew by 66%. BC’s emissions grew by 21%. Manitoba’s emissions grew by 14%.

GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS On this page, we will briefly introduce the following “green building” construction standards and programs available and show you where to go for more information:. R-2000; LEED; EnerGuide for New Houses; Click a link in the list above to jump to that topic on this page.. If you’re serious about cutting greenhouse gases from buildings, there are a number of programs operating in ManitobaSOIL MANAGEMENT
The quality of soil is essential to efficient crop production and environmental health because it plays many key roles for the ecosystem: ( 2) Soil contributes to agro-ecological health by. Supporting plant growth. Controlling water loss, use, and cleanliness. Acting as a recycling system by decomposing plant and organic residue.WIND ENERGY
We operate thanks to donations from people like you and support from: LARGE FINAL EMITTERS (LFE) Large Final Emitters (LFEs) are those facilities that emit 50,000 tonnes (50 kT) or more of carbon dioxide (CO 2) equivalents per year. These facilities are required to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to Statistics Canada. In 2009, the reporting threshold was reduced from 100 kT to 50 kT. This made the reporting more stringent.LAKE WINNIPEG WATER
Closely tied to this water residence time is the growth and accumulation of planktonic animals (zooplankton) and algae (phytoplankton). With sufficient nutrients and sunlight, the longer water stays in the lake the more algae and zooplankton will accumulate because they are essentially floating organisms whose distribution is controlled by water currents and mixing.* Science
