A Biosphere Eco-City (BEC)

A Biosphere Eco-City is an urban area and surrounding countryside where people and organizations cooperate to achieve sustainability. They work to create an ecological city where activities contribute to the health of the Biosphere (Sphere of Life).

The BEC Approach

Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) activities engage people to create a culture of sustainability in their community and city. BEC teams use a framework of 10 Themes which divide sustainability into action areas. BEC teams also may use Tools, which are proven methods of engagement. When people are engaged, the culture will change, and this will prompt everyone to follow a path towards sustainability.

Our Mission

Achievable a sustainable Brampton built on engagement, urban-rural coordination, and cooperation for positive change.

Developing Brampton’s Database of Sustainability Projects

Volunteers are creating short summaries of sustainability projects in and around Brampton. This will allow you to learn what is already happening in your city and contact project owners for more information, if desired. This accessible database will be organized according to the 10 Themes of Sustainability so you can easily focus on what interests you most (energy, habitat, food, health, waste etc.).
