Canada Scores Last in WWF Climate Report Card

Canada scores last and is trending worse on the World Wildlife Foundation’s Climate Report Card. “Nowhere else on Earth do fewer people steward more resources, yet Canada now stands dead last among the G8 nations in protecting our shared home from the threat of dangerous climate change,” said foundation spokesman Keith Stewart.

The knocks against Canada include:

• High emission per capita rates when compared to other industrialized countries’ averages
• One of the last G8 countries with increasing emissions rates
• More non-conventional energy-intensive developments yet to come online
• Lack of sustainable policy enhancements improvements over the last year
