Aviva Canada and
WWF-Canada

The planet is facing the dual crises of biodiversity loss and climate change. One-third of climate change causing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions result from the destruction of trees, ground cover, peatlands and coastal plants and ecosystems. To act quickly on the climate emergency, Aviva Canada is investing over $2-million over three years in WWF-Canada’s Nature and Climate Grant Program, to help local groups and Indigenous organizations restore degraded lands and shorelines in order to improve habitats and capture carbon. Nature-based climate solutions use the unique powers of nature to both capture and store carbon. Alongside rapid decarbonization, and with the right restoration actions, nature can deliver as much as 30 percent of the cost-effective emissions reductions needed to achieve the goals set out in the Paris Agreement on climate action by 2030.
