It integrates various aspects such as environmental, social, health, and economic impacts, as seen in the Impact Assessment Act of Canada[1].
- **Improving Quality of Life**: By facilitating the development and implementation of effective climate policies, the project contributes to reducing the adverse effects of climate change on human health, mental wellbeing, and overall quality of life. This is particularly important given the dire consequences of climate change on mental health and wellbeing highlighted in recent research[2].
- **Promoting Positive Change**: The project supports transformative action by providing policymakers with the most authoritative and objective scientific and technical assessments. This helps in driving urgent societal switches from fossil fuels to low-carbon alternatives and investing in adaptation measures, which are essential for climate resilient development and sustainable development[4].
- **Community Well-being**: By promoting equitable and just climate solutions, the project contributes positively to community well-being, especially for disadvantaged groups. It emphasizes the importance of climate justice and the need for decisive climate action to reduce current and future mental health burdens and improve overall wellbeing[2].
