THE CLIMATE REALITY PROJECT CANADA RECEIVES THE 2022 CANADA'S CLEAN50 TOP PROJECT AWARDS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  

Fighting Grime With Data—The Climate Reality Project Canada Recipient of the 2022 Canada’s Clean50 Top Project Awards For Its Astounding Citizen-Led And Data-Driven Yearly Project: The National Climate League Standings  

MONTREAL, October 5th, 2021— The Climate Reality Project Canada was amongst the  2022 Clean50 Top Projects Honourees, recognized last Friday at the Clean50 Summit 11.0 in Toronto. It was not only a chance to receive this important award, but also the opportunity to spend a day amongst peers and colleagues tackling critical sustainability challenges facing Canada.  

The cumulative accomplishments of Canada’s Clean50 Top Projects in reducing and avoiding GHGs over the past 2 years adds up to a very big number. At The Climate Reality Project Canada, we are grateful for the hundreds of volunteers who are at the heart of our Standings.   

The National Climate League Standings  

The Climate Reality Project Canada assembled the National Climate League to use cities as the pathway for climate policy solutions. The project aims to instill a sense of agency and community through citizen engagement and participatory democracy, drawing in diverse constituencies to demand accountability from their municipalities.   

Citizen-led and data-driven, the League enables volunteers to gather data on fifteen primary indicators that reflect increased living standards for everyday Canadians living in municipalities. These Standings then function as benchmarking and lobbying tools to compare how Canadian municipalities fare across these sustainability indicators—the National Climate League, local heroes, fighting grime with data.

About Delta Management Group and Canada’s Clean50  

Canada’s Clean50 Top Project Awards are amongst the awards announced annually by Delta Management Group and the Canada’s Clean50 organization, to recognize the best sustainability oriented projects completed in Canada over the prior two years.   

Projects are chosen based on a five “I”s criteria: Impactful, Innovative, Inspiring, Informative and can readily be Imitated.  Delta’s criteria in determining Project awards is to carefully consider a combination of actual measurable impact, demonstrated innovation, and the project’s ability to inspire others to imitate it – and NCL 2020 completed by Climate Reality Project Canada is a terrific example.
