Shared intelligence for Canada’s environment

Canada’s environmental movement needs stronger campaigns, engaging more Canadians and targeting a variety of backgrounds. To develop these, members need access to rigorous research on public attitudes about a broad range of environmental issues: climate change and pipelines, air quality and marine conservation, endangered species, parks, toxics, etc.

Industries commission such research and frequently use the results to shape public debates — in ways that weaken environmental protection, too often. Charities and non-profits often lack access to the best data, however, as governments no longer provide it and private surveys can be expensive, narrowly focused and difficult to interpret.

EcoAnalytics will fill this gap. An innovative joint venture of leading charities, non-profit organizations and university researchers, it will conduct relevant new research on a wide range of environmental issues — and encourage collaboration to make best use of its rich data.

Research

In its inaugural year, EcoAnalytics will field and report on two in-depth, nationally representative telephone surveys: the largest fielding questions on a broad range of environmental issues, another drilling down on climate and energy (results of one question are shown above), specifically.
