Environmental
Policy Development
Informing
and influencing responsible environmental policy development by governments
and corporations is a major outcome of Pollution Probe's research and
education mandate. The Probe
Approach is to bring together leading scientific researchers and policy
thinkers in government, industry, and environment and health groups in
well-designed workshops, conferences and other forums to share their knowledge
and insights into complex environmental and human health issues. Pollution
Probe uses these forums to get the information needed to publish reports and
other resource documents that all stakeholders can use to promote progressive
policies and programmes to protect and enhance human and environmental health.
Environmental policy development projects managed by
Pollution Probe include environmental standard setting, voluntary
initiatives, risk assessment and the precautionary principle, and
public disclosure of environmental information.
Pollution Probe is a member of the Green Budget Coalition which researches
and submits proposals to the Government of Canada outlining ways the
Department of Finance can protect Canada’s environment while improving
Canada’s competitiveness. For more information, see
