URGENT: Next week, the federal government’s consultation on our climate targets closes. It’s a crucial opportunity for regular people to have our say about Canada's climate targets and the plan to reach them.

If thousands of us pack the consultation with calls for an end to fossil fuel extraction and a just transition we can send a clear message: the public expects bold climate action.

Submission to the Environment and Climate Change Canada’s public consultation on Canada’s 2030 Emission Reduction Plan:

I'm writing to you with my response to the public consultation, and to urge the federal government to act with the speed and scale necessary to tackle the climate emergency.

In response to Questions 1 and 4, to reduce emissions and ensure Canada is on track to meet its climate targets, the federal government must: 
Increase ambition by raising our emissions reduction target to 60%. 
Spend what it takes to tackle the climate emergency, by investing in a climate safe economic transformation at a minimum of 2% of GDP per year
Stop expanding fossil fuel projects, e.g. cancelling the Trans Mountain and Coastal GasLink pipelines.
End all fossil fuel subsidies.

In response to Questions 3 and 5, the government must act swiftly to implement a just transition to ensure Canada is on track to meet (and exceed) net zero by 2050. This must include:
Funding for training and low-carbon job creation to prepare workers, including those who work in oil and gas, for a new and more inclusive economy.
Empowering and resourcing local and Indigenous communities to lead their transitions.

Communities in Canada have experienced the impacts of the climate crisis over the past year. I urge the federal government to do everything in its power to protect us by implementing a just transition away from fossil fuels, and increasing ambition with regards to Canada’s climate targets.

Sincerely,

Send to
