Our mission
We equip Canada’s decision-makers with the knowledge needed to achieve a net-zero economy through effective climate governance.
About Us
The Canada Climate Law Initiative (CCLI) provides businesses and regulators with climate governance guidance so they can make informed decisions towards a net-zero economy. Powered by the nation’s top expertise, we engage with boards of directors and trustees to ensure businesses understand their legal duties with respect to climate change. Our legal research allows us to stay one step ahead in a rapidly transforming policy landscape.
CCLI is supported financially by family foundations, and is led by its Principal Co-Investigators who include professors at the University of British Columbia Peter A. Allard School of Law and Osgoode Hall Law School, York University.
Vision
Our vision is governance practices and laws that prioritize environmental, financial, and legal accountability in a thriving and resilient Canada.
