DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the third national report on the state of the Canadian environment, with the goal of providing timely, accurate, and accessible environmental information, integrated with socio-economic factors, to improve decision making and support progress toward sustainability. The introductory part I reviews the concepts of sustainability as an overall goal and the ecosystem approach to viewing the environment. Part II describes seven groups of Canadian ecozones, their biophysical characteristics, and the effects of human activities on those ecozones, and assesses the sustainability of the overall ecosystem. Part III integrates information on air, water, land, and biota, as well as human activities, for the country as a whole. Chapters on environmental components, human activities, and urban areas emphasize interaction within and among social, economic, and environmental elements. Data presentation by province and territory, where appropriate, complements the presentation by ecozone in part II. Part IV examines how individual and collective actions have implications on the ecosphere (global) scale, focusing on three key issues: toxic substances, biodiversity change, and atmospheric change. The concluding part summarizes findings in relation to the goal of sustainability. includes glossary.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCanada has abundant natural wealth -- beautiful landscapes, vast forests, and thousands of rivers and lakes. The land defines Canadians as a people, yet the country has one of the worst environmental records in the industrialized world. Building on his previous book, The Environmental Rights Revolution (2012), David R. Boyd, one of Canada’s leading environmental lawyers, describes how recognizing the constitutional right to a healthy environment could have a transformative impact by empowering citizens, holding governments and industry accountable, and improving Canada’s green record. The overwhelming majority of the world’s nations now recognize environmental rights through laws, constitutions, treaties, or court decisions. Boyd explores Canada’s history of failed efforts to do the same within this international context and offers three pathways to constitutional recognition of the right to a healthy environment. This important and provocative book provides a blueprint for renewed leadership in protecting human health, the well-being of the planet, and the interests of future generations.
