Regenerating Toronto

Creating the future we want.
Together!

Welcome to RegenTO

We work to educate, engage and inspire citizens to act on the known and proven solutions to the climate crisis. Through projects and partnerships, we collaborate with people and groups across the GTA and beyond with a sense of optimism and agency.

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. It takes all of us.

About Us

Solutions in Action

Learn about solutions that are already at work in our communities to offset the climate crisis. Our approach builds on the work of Project Drawdown and Project Regeneration’s Nexus list of climate solutions and challenges. We’ve added substantial local information centred on our bioregion, Ontario and Canada.

We’re starting with a few fundamental solutions that connect everything: Freshwater, Peatlands and Connection to Nature. 

Peatlands

Protect and restore threatened peatlands, one of the most ecologically diverse and carbon-rich ecosystems on the planet.

freshWater

Conserve freshwater and restore water cycles at multiple scales using regenerative practices, collaborative management, and innovative technologies.

nature connection

Restore human connections with nature to improve well-being, regenerate planetary ecosystems, and cultivate regenerative values.

"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 and governments.
And most spectacularly to climate."
