Ontario's Environment Plan: Preserving And Protecting Our Environment For Future Generations

On November 29, 2018, the Ontario government released its Environment Plan: Preserving and Protecting our Environment for Future Generations. This Plan outlines, in broad strokes, the government's intended actions and policies for addressing many environment-related issues in Ontario, including the pollution of air, land, and water, the reduction of litter and waste, and the emission of greenhouse gases ("GHGs"). The government is accepting comments on the Plan until January 28, 2019 through the Environmental Registry of Ontario. Following consultation, the government intends to establish an advisory panel on climate change and to begin implementing some of the initiatives identified in the Plan.
