On Canada’s west coast, the City of Vancouver is poised between the mountains and the Strait of Georgia, so it’s no surprise that Vancouver has the best air quality in Canada in the 2022 index universe. Vancouver produces the lowest Scope 1 GHG emissions and solid waste per capita in Canada. The Vancouver municipal government has enacted many sustainable policies that foster its urban sustainability leadership. Compared to the rest of Canada, Vancouver enjoys a wealth of open public space.
