Clean Air Partnerships
Clean Air Partnership (CAP) is a charitable environmental organization launched in June, 2000. CAP’s mission is to help municipalities become sustainable, resilient, vibrant communities where resources are used efficiently, the air is clean to breathe and greenhouse gas emissions are minimized.
CAP achieves this mission through research, knowledge transfer, and by fostering collaboration among all orders of government, academia, NGOs and a range of additional stakeholders.
Vanessa Cipriani is a Project Coordinator at Clean Air Partnership. Vanessa is coordinating the Climate Action Support Centre project, which works with a group of municipalities in Southern Ontario to advance implementation of green development standards for new low-rise buildings, and to create a pilot program for home energy efficiency retrofits for existing low-rise buildings. Previous to her work at CAP, Vanessa worked as a policy advisor for the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. She is passionate about sustainable low-carbon communities, and the intersections between environmental justice and social equality.
