Canada contributes to the Global Platform for Sustainable Cities (GPSC) through the active engagement of cities such as Montreal and Toronto, both of which have supported GPSC workshops, regional academies, and thematic exchanges. These cities share valuable experience on urban nature, climate resilience, sustainable mobility, and integrated planning, providing models that inspire GEF cities and the broader SCIP network. Canada’s leadership in green infrastructure, biodiversity conservation, and inclusive urban design continues to inform GPSC learning and strengthen global efforts toward low-carbon, resilient, and people-centered cities.
