To evaluate Canada’s progress toward sustainability, the Sustainable Planning Group at Simon Fraser University completed a major academic study using data verified and published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The study, published in October 2005, examines 29 indicators within the framework of the nine goals identified in Sustainability within a Generation to compare Canada’s environmental performance to those of the other OECD nations. The academic study was conducted by an independent team of multidisciplinary researchers at Simon Fraser University under the direction of Dr. Thomas Gunton.
