One of the highlights of 2009 was the Copenhagen Summit on climate change. This theme was also central to many of the activities carried out by Équiterre. The organization’s new “Research” component, which was officially added as a full-fledged program in 2009, notably established links between food and climate change, both of which are key themes of Équiterre’s Strategic Plan for 2008-2012.

Équiterre was very much in demand in the media over the past year, and its impact on citizens and organizations alike was unprecedented, thanks in large part to its campaigns and its consulting services in sustainable development.

Finally, along with its member partners, Équiterre completed the preliminary steps for the construction of the Centre for Sustainable Development, which will open its doors in 2011.
