Canada publishes first national environmental-justice strategy
Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
Environment and Climate Change Canada released a 2026–2031 national strategy to address environmental racism and advance environmental justice, describing it as Canada’s first of its kind. The framework calls for environmental inequities to be reduced in federal decision-making, wider access to environmental information and stronger public participation. It follows consultations and legislation that received royal assent in June 2024.
Why it matters
The strategy sets a federal framework for how environmental burdens and public participation are considered across Canada.
