In December 2011, Canada became the first country to officially announce its withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol, a global treaty aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Canada's government, under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, cited several reasons for this decision. Primarily, it argued that the Kyoto Protocol did not include the world's two largest greenhouse gas emitters, the United States and China, which made the treaty ineffective in addressing global climate change. Additionally, meeting the treaty's emission reduction targets would have imposed significant financial penalties on Canada, which the government was unwilling to bear.
Canada's withdrawal marked a significant blow to international climate efforts, drawing criticism from environmentalists and several countries, including China and France. The country's decision was influenced by its reliance on energy-intensive industries, particularly the oil sands in Alberta, and the economic costs associated with complying with the treaty's targets
