Right to a healthy environment under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA): Our recommendations

In April 2024, we were pleased to present a discussion paper to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) as part of the development of the framework for implementing the right to a healthy environment.

Three areas of intervention:

1. Residential wood combustion

2. Campfires

3. Commercial wood fired cooking

ECCC has just published on October 5, 2024 a draft framework which will be subject to consultations for 60 days: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/canadian-environmental-protection-act-registry/publications/implementation-framework.html

INCREDIBLE: No mention of residential wood burning - leading cause of environmental death in the country!

JOIN us in denouncing this total denial of scientific data on air pollution.
