TEA has done a preliminary analysis of four key spending areas in the proposed budget that will impact Toronto’s environment and our ability to help meet Canada’s Paris climate change commitments.

All eyes were on Paris in December to see whether world leaders would make history and sign off on an agreement that would finally lead to real global action on climate change.

The right to a healthy environment has been made official. Councillor Mike Layton hopes his motion will encourage local decision-making "through a climate lens."

As the world gathers in Paris to negotiate a new treaty to reduce global carbon emissions, one fact is becoming clear to leaders, negotiators and the world media: what happens in cities will be key to determining how we deal with climate disruption (also known as climate change).

On Tuesday, TEA’s Executive Director Franz Hartmann personally delivered 4,238 letters to Mayor John Tory from Torontonians, asking the Mayor to honour his election commitments for action on the environment.
