Research Into Action to Benefit Canadians

Completed in 2005, Science and Technology Into Action to Benefit Canadians is a series of research impact studies highlighting Environment Canada's success in creating measurable environmental, social, and economic benefits for Canadians through federal government S&T activities, initiatives, and partnerships.

This series builds on earlier research impact studies focused on the benefits generated by Environment Canada's water S&T - Research into Action To Benefit Canadians.

Both series are in the form of vignettes that tell the story of how S&T has influenced the environmental decision-making process: for example supported a regulation, guideline, strategy, policy, program, initiative or management decision. They show how public-good S&T has helped produce cleaner technologies to protect the environment. They report on successful S&T in the key areas of wildlife, biodiversity, water, air, soil, climate, environmental prediction science, and environmental technologies. They describe past successes and work in progress, and they transmit timely knowledge to those who use S&T, including environmental program managers, municipal planners, all levels of government, resource managers, policy analysts, and industry.
