Over the next three years, Aviva Canada will invest over $1 million 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, with the right restoration actions, nature can deliver as much as 30 per cent of the cost-effective emissions reductions needed to achieve the goals set out in the Paris Agreement on climate action by 2030.

The WWF-Canada’s Nature and Climate Grant Program will support projects focused on planting trees, native seeds and plants, restoring natural saltwater flows, bank stabilization and habitat creation and enhancement in coastal zones, former agricultural sites, riparian zones, wetlands and forests. More details of the grant recipients will be announced in the fall.
