Science and Technology

Researchers collecting data on waterbirds and their eggs on the Niagara River (Ontario) | Photo: J.S. PollockMore than 70 percent of Environment Canada’s annual budget is devoted to S&T. Nearly two thirds of our employees work in S&T occupations, producing data and knowledge essential for policies, regulations, enforcement, and federal and international codes and standards. They conduct research to better understand wildlife, biodiversity, water, air, soil, climate, environmental prediction and environmental technologies. They monitor Canada’s ecosystems to understand what is changing, and to evaluate emerging threats. These essential services safeguard environmental quality and human health and security.

Environment Canada's scientific and technical knowledge is available here for users of S&T, including governments, environmental regulators, policy- and decision-makers, land-use planners, researchers, and industry.
