The Living City Report Card 2021: Assessment of the environmental health of the Greater Toronto Area

Carbon emissions, air and water quality, waste management, land use and biodiversity are the environmental measures of a flourishing living city. This report card captures their state of health across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance’s (CivicAction’s) Greening Greater Toronto initiative and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) have collaborated to produce this independent analysis, which builds on Greening Greater Toronto’s 2008 environmental report, and on TRCA’s watershed report cards.
