Environment Canada’s primary duties include renewable resources management and the protection of Canada's air, water, and land resources. The departmental organization has three principal services: Environmental Protection, which concentrates on response strategies and behavioural changes to prevent pollution of air, land and water ecosystems; Environment Conservation, which focuses on sustainability of ecosystems and management of wildlife resources; and Meteorological Services of Canada, which focuses on integrated monitoring, atmospheric sciences, and services to Canadians.
Departmental programs are designed to promote the establishment or adoption of objectives and standards relating either to environmental quality or pollution control, to ensure the wise management and use of renewable resources and to provide Canadians with environmental information in the public interest. As well, the department ensures that new federal projects, programs and activities are assessed early in the planning process for potentially adverse effects on the environment.
