An inventory of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity in Quebec, updated annually by the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks. The dataset shows emissions by sector and sub-sector from 1990 onward, compiled from business reports, Statistics Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and other Quebec agencies. Data is presented in separate files for total emissions by category, by category and gas, and net flows from the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry sector.
