Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment brings together medical doctors and health professionals across Canada who work to reduce environmental threats to human health. The organization educates physicians about the health impacts of climate change, pollution, and other environmental issues, then equips them to advocate for policy changes in their communities and at the national level. Based in Toronto, the association publishes research, runs training programs, and mobilizes the medical community to speak up on issues like air quality, chemical safety, and sustainable healthcare practices. By connecting clinical expertise with environmental advocacy, the organization strengthens the voice of health professionals in conversations about protecting both human wellbeing and the natural world.
