What Does CEPA Stand For?
CEPA stands for Canadian Environmental Protection Act
The Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) is a federal legislation aimed at preventing pollution and protecting the environment and human health in Canada. Enacted in 1999 and amended periodically, CEPA provides a framework for assessing, managing, and regulating substances that may pose risks to the ecosystem and public health. The act emphasizes a science-based approach to environmental protection and promotes sustainable practices, ensuring that both current and future generations can enjoy a healthy environment. CEPA also plays a crucial role in international environmental cooperation and compliance with global agreements.
