🌍✨ Happy World Environment Day! 🌱🌿

Our environment shapes how we live, breathe, and thrive. From the air we inhale to the green spaces we enjoy, environmental factors are deeply connected to our health and well-being.

This World Environment Day, we’re proud to highlight CanPath’s collaboration with CANUE, working together to make rich environmental exposure datasets accessible to researchers across Canada. 📊

Curious about how environmental data is helping us better understand health? https://canpath.ca/2024/12/new-environmental-exposure-data-added-to-canpath-greenness-air-quality-and-accessibility/

Let’s keep building a healthier future, for both people and the planet. 🌎💚
