Last week, the Green Budget Coalition released a report, Recommendations for Budget 2015, which encourages the Government of Canada to take certain measures to advance environmental sustainability and stimulate innovation and economic opportunities.

“The Green Budget Coalition believes strongly that adopting the recommendations in his document will be invaluable for providing Canadians with a healthy environment, a thriving, sustainable economy and the opportunity to live healthy lives today and far into the future,” said Andrew Van Iterson, Manager of the Green Budget Coalition.

The report focuses on three strategic areas:

1. Energy innovation and climate change leadership
2. Achieving Canada’s conservation commitments
3. Ensuring healthy communities for all Canadians
