This document discusses sustainable development in Canada. It notes that while Canada has large natural spaces and biodiversity protected in national parks, it is also one of the highest per capita contributors to global warming in the world due to its oil, coal and natural gas industries. These industries, as well as mining and vehicles, contribute to pollution. The document also discusses issues facing indigenous populations from climate change and social problems. It examines Canada's national sustainable development strategy and goals, but notes the country shows ambivalence between environmental and economic priorities.

Canadian companies champions of green
washing
●
Small actions, sometimes insignificant.
●
Ecological advances in areas such as
bituminous sand extraction or shale gas.
●
However, all is not to be thrown away and
some actions remain to be congratulated.

Canada too a bad student
⇒ Small global
contributor, but
per inhabitant is
not an example

15. 15
Canada too a bad student
Oil, coal,
natural gas

16. 16
Natural gas
⇒ CO2 emissions
⇒ CH4 leakage
⇒ Corrisive, toxic and acid
substances extraction
⇒ hydraulic fracturing

Polluting mine
- Landscape pollution
- Acidic drainage and metal leaching Mining waste⇒
- Pollutes aquatic ecosystems

The case of indigenous populations
- Serious social problems
(suicide, crime, poverty, access
to drinking water, alcoholism)
- Frowned upon and rejected by
others

23. 23
The Inuits
- Global warming Melting ice⇒
Loss of cultural activity⇒
- Inuit have about 40 words to
name the ice according to its
shape, seasonality etc ...

24. 24
Canada's National Strategy for
the 2030 Program
⇒ Citizen consultation
⇒ 17 Sustainable development
goals
⇒ Takes into account the
economic and social part

25. 25
Ambivalence
⇒ Canada's progress on the sustainable
development goals is paradoxical
⇒ A relatively socially developed country
⇒ A naturally present biological richness
⇒ Very questionable environmental choices
