CAPE Policy Brief- Advancing Health Equity Through BEPs in Toronto.pdf

by Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment

This brief examines how an equity-focused BEPS can deliver significant health and social benefits to Toronto residents, particularly the most vulnerable, while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By engaging with communities, providing targeted supports, and establishing protections for renters, Toronto can ensure that its BEPS policy lowers Toronto's healthcare burden and contributes to building a more resilient, healthy, and equitable city for all.
