Published by Statistics Canada, 2009. This is an annual publication. The 2009 edition was released July 2009. Description: |
| Human Activity and the
Environment: Annual Statistics 2009 is the annual update of the more
extensive quinquennial, environment statistics compendium, Human Activity and the Environment. The larger
compendium provides extensive data, analysis and interpretation on population,
economic activities, the environment and the issues linking these key elements.
With emphasis on human activity and its relationship to natural systems-air, water, soil, plants and animals, Human Activity and the Environment: Annual Statistics (HAE) presents a compendium of maps, tables and figures punctuated with simple analysis and interpretation, which together paint a statistical portrait of Canada’s environment. In addition, each issue of HAE includes a feature article covering a current environmental issue of concern to Canadians. Divided into three sections, the compendium is organized using the state-pressure-response framework, in which information is classified as measuring the state of the physical environment at a point in time, the pressure placed on the environment by human activities, or the socio-economic response to environmental conditions. The report includes data tables, charts and maps, along with data highlights that briefly describe notable developments in relation to human activity and the environment to help the reader navigate through the data holdings. The publication also includes a feature article, "Food in Canada," which explores the impact of the Canadian food system on the environment. The food system includes all the products produced, and the processes and activities carried out, to put food on tables at home, in restaurants and to provide food products for export. This article combines new research done within Statistics Canada with information from a variety of sources, including other federal government departments, international bodies and scientific journals. HAE provides a comprehensive set of data describing how Canadians interact with the environment. It includes data on topics such as climate, natural resources, ecosystems, and environmental practices. Contents include:
