Every location in Canada can be described by a complex set of environmental factors – the amount of nearby traffic, local air quality, access to greenspaces, opportunities for walking and cycling, the amount of noise pollution, to name a few.

CANUE harnesses standardized, timely data to advance urban environmental health and address inequities driven by urbanization and climate change. Through partnerships with academia, government, non-profits, and the private sector, we create tools that empower researchers, planners, public health practitioners, and the public. These resources offer clear insights into how environmental factors impact Canadians’ health, guiding informed actions and policies. By collaborating globally, CANUE contributes to the development of standard measures, helping researchers uncover the diverse impacts of environmental factors on health.
