"Regeneration puts life at the centre of every action and decision. It applies to all of life - grasslands, farms, insects, forests, fish, wetlands, coastlands, and oceans - and it applies equally to family, communities, cities, schools, religion, commerce, & governments. And most spectacularly to climate." - Project Regeneration

Regenerating Toronto is a fully independent non-profit organization, registered as Drawdown Toronto. Our goal is to demystify climate action and accelerate local implementation of climate solutions in the GTA. Since 2018 we have supported local advocacy and conducted educational and civic action programming.  We remain close to our roots as a local community-based group driven by passionate volunteers collaborating with people and groups across many networks.

Embracing nature as the source of life and wellbeing is the key. Actions to remove carbon emissions make a thriving future possible. Together we can create a flourishing, regenerative world, with a climate, watershed and ecosystem that is healthy for the children of all species for generations to come.

We are informed by author and environmentalist Paul Hawken, the founder of both Project Drawdown and Project Regeneration. His most recent books are Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming (2017) and Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation (2021) are key resources. Drawdown is the WHAT IF and Regeneration is the HOW TO that together bridge the scientific research on climate solutions and the global engagement necessary to implement them.

Our work builds on well-researched and actionable solutions. Some of what’s needed is already happening in the GTA. More is needed. More is possible. We are grateful to be part of a network with the other Drawdown/Regeneration groups in Canada: RegenerateBC, RegenerateAlberta, Climate Action Newmarket-Aurora, EcoCaledon, and others.
