Analysis

The most recent figure for emissions-weighted carbon price in emissions trading systems in Canada is 2.01 constant 2021 US$ per tonne of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2025.

That represents a change of down 46.5% on the previous year and up 110.7% over ten years.

Over the whole period, emissions-weighted carbon price in emissions trading systems in Canada peaked at 7.97 constant 2021 US$ per tonne of CO₂ equivalents in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0 constant 2021 US$ per tonne of CO₂ equivalents, in 1989.

That places Canada 37th out of 200 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the top quarter.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
