Toronto Environmental Alliance

Background of the organization

Founded in 1988, Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) is a non-profit organization that advocates for environmental justice and sustainability in Toronto. TEA acts as a watchdog at City Hall and mobilizes residents to influence policy and protect the environment.

Project description

Funding will support TEA’s public engagement and advocacy campaign to develop performance standards to decarbonize Toronto’s existing buildings and protect Toronto’s authority to implement green building standards. The project will mobilize residents, brief city councilors and media, engage industry voices, and counter provincial efforts to weaken municipal climate powers.
