PEACH Stands for Partnerships for Environmental Action by Communities within Healthcare systems. At PEACH our mission is to cultivate and sustain partnerships across health care facilities in Ontario to support climate action.
The essence of this provincial initiative is to engage, encourage and empower those in the health care sector to take climate action at their site. There are some exciting health care related initiatives happening in the province right now. The PEACH website will not only serve as a central hub to share information about new initiatives but will also serve as a platform for everyone to share ideas, resources or even collaborate on projects big or small.
The website will serve as a roadmap for sustainability, where anyone interested would be able to navigate through several topics related to environment action and climate change and learn how they can make a difference at their own institution.
