New Canadian Report on Green Infrastructure
A report released yesterday by the Green Infrastructure Ontario Coalition says that green infrastructure is a cost solution that policy makers should pay attention to in the coming months: “The Case for Green Infrastructure in Ontario argues taxpayer dollars spent on green infrastructure offer a greater return on investment because of the multiple economic, health and environmental benefits. The report, co-written by the Coalition and Ecojustice, examines how other jurisdictions in North America are leveraging the rewards from public policies and investments in green infrastructure, and makes specific, practical recommendations to the provincial government on how to similarly benefit.”
