The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) has acknowledged a CAD 25 million investment from the Government of Canada's 2022 Federal Budget for the IISD Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA). This funding is intended to support research into freshwater threats, including climate change and microplastics, and to facilitate collaborations with Indigenous communities and the African Center for Aquatic Research and Education.

• The Government of Canada allocated CAD 25 million in its 2022 Federal Budget to the IISD Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA), providing financial stability for research on freshwater threats such as microplastics and climate change.
• The new funding will support an ambitious research agenda at IISD-ELA, which includes investigating oil spills, collaborating with Indigenous communities to share scientific knowledge, and working with the African Center for Aquatic Research and Education to improve the health of the African Great Lakes.
