"TERMS AND CONDITIONS" "https://www.bankofcanada.ca/terms/" "NAME" "Chart 2: Weighted average carbon intensity of the Bank of Canada’s balance sheet" "DESCRIPTION" "tCO2e is tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. The Government of Canada and provincial securities groupings use GDP as the denominator and the corporate bonds grouping uses company sales. Both are presented in Canadian dollars. When necessary, annual exchange rates are used for the conversion. The exchange rate used matches the year of the sales or GDP figure. Because of the lag in national carbon emissions data, this report uses 2020 GHG data for Government of Canada securities and provincial securities. The data lag from MSCI (used for the corporate bond portfolio) varies from one to three years. GDP data (for Government of Canada and provincial securities) and sale data (for corporate bonds) used match the emissions year. The GDP is in 2020 prices. GDP and GHG revisions are common and will impact the calculation of historical metrics that the Bank may include in future reports. Historical WACI figures will likely be restated in future disclosure reports to account for these changes."
