The Earth Day announcement comes less than six months after nine charities and wealthy families agreed to invest $405 million over the next decade.
Most of the funds announced this week $70 million came from the Lawson Foundation, with $60 million of that total devoted to a new, multidisciplinary Lawson Climate Institute at the University of Toronto.
"People are ready to step up in a way that, to defend the climate progress that has been made in Canada and internationally over recent years," Clean Economy Fund Executive Director Eric Campbell said.
