“…Thus, the federal government may have been limited in its power over imposing regulations within a human health-oriented context. 49 As explained by Benidickson (2013), "Although pollution of Canada's lakes and rivers was actively under discussion in the Confederation era, environment is not specifically mentioned in the documentation that formally established the constitutional framework. There was therefore no assignment of responsibility for the environment as such to either the provinces or the federal government" (p. 31).…”

<p>The need for integration of environmental policy and public health has become ever more evident with the increasing case numbers of Lyme disease, a problem greatly exacerbated by climate change. The purpose of this study was to conduct a policy evaluation of the Federal Framework on Lyme Disease Act (FFLDA) and associated initiatives from an integrated environmental and public health perspective. The chosen methodology was document analysis. This thesis sought to evaluate the significance of the FFLDA for environmental law and to assess stakeholder initiatives and risk communication strategies from an environmental health perspective. This thesis emphasized a locally-oriented policy approach for addressing Lyme disease focused upon citizen science, improved signage, technological tools, and media coverage. Policy recommendations were formulated for Lyme disease management and the progression of the policy goals of the FFLDA. Such recommendations aim to bridge gaps between environmental policy and public health.</p>

“…At the bottom line, sustainable development, prompted by international instruments, 27 can serve as a reconciling medium for discourses previously perceived as contradictory and classical theses, such as the "limits to growth." 28 It brings together the ostensibly conflicting "only-choose-one" debates regarding development or care for the environment, even adding in consideration of social issues.…”

Attention towards topics such as environmental pollution, climate change, or biodiversity has strongly increased in the last years. The struggles to balance market powers and ecological sustainability somehow evoke memories of the early days of European welfare states, when social protection emerged as a means to prevent industrial capitalism from disruptive social tensions due to excessive social inequalities. In fact, social and environmental crises are inseparably intertwined, as ecological destruction is likely to be followed by social deprivation, and a lack of social security can be a crucial barrier for ecologically sustainable action. Our paper seeks to provide a step towards such an integrated perspective by studying problem pressure and public interventions in the area of green welfare, that is, in social and environmental protection. By using available data from Eurostat and Environmental Performance Index (EPI) databases, we contrast environmental and social performances to detect links between the social and the ecological dimension in these areas and unearth different configurations of green welfare among European countries. Our findings suggest that there are different “worlds of eco-welfare states” which only partially overlap with the more conventional “world of welfare states” but show how the Nordic countries are in the relatively-better performing cluster.
