Converging Opportunities: Environmental compliance and citizen science

» Scott Vaughan, IISD, 2014.Paper, 10 pages, copyright: IISD

In this policy brief, IISD President Scott Vaughan argues that there is an implementation gap in Canada between numerous environmental regulations and the corporate stakeholders whose behaviour they are meant to oversee. He suggests that improved reporting systems (including citizen reporting linked with social media) can provide a more effective means of gathering data to hold industry accountable—and that this is an area IISD will be making a priority going forward.
