State of the Environment InfobaseThe State of the Environment (SOE) Infobase was originally developed in 1996 as an interactive and convenient mechanism for presenting a number of environmental reporting products and tools, including The State of Canada’s Environment — 1996 and Canada's National Environmental Indicators Series 2003. The Infobase grew and developed to include one-window access to federal State of Environment Reports and other environmental information tools and products. The Knowledge Integration Strategies Division, within Environment Canada, houses the Infobase and initiates some of the programs presented on the site or collaborates with many other partners to provide the information and tools that are presented here. The Infobase is the means by which the Office conveys scientific information on the environment in an understandable way and in a form that can be useful to the public, policy-makers, researchers, and educators and students. The Knowledge Integration Strategies Division undertakes and sponsors research and development on new ways of aggregating, selecting, and presenting information that are relevant and meaningful.The work is part of the total environmental information system, including environmental monitoring and research in the environmental sciences, which comprise the critical source-material. Knowledge Integration Strategies Division works closely with environmental scientists and environmental monitoring programs to ensure there is feedback and that the indicators, reports and tools are based on the best available understanding, data, and information. The work housed and presented here is also related to a range of other environmental and sustainability reporting and indicator programs in Canada and internationally. Our links section provides a list of related monitoring, research, reporting, and indicator work.
