The Provincial government needs to work together with all levels of government and civil society. We are in a "Code Red" for humanity and we need a climate action plan that includes:
- Set binding climate targets based on science and justice consistent with global efforts to limit planetary warming to 1.5C.
-Prioritize and respect Indigenous sovereignty and autonomy.
- End all fossil fuel subsidies immediately and rapidly wind down all fossil fuel use.
- Prioritize public health, as the climate crisis is our single greatest health crisis.
- Accelerate the transition to zero emission buildings.
- Accelerate the transition to zero emissions transportation and ensure ongoing sustainable community development.
- Urgently protect natural biodiversity.
- invest in local, regenerative agriculture and plant-rich food systems. Support farmers.
- Institute a broad public education campaign, as we all the right to know what's at stake.
- Reinstate an independent office of the Environmental Commissioner.
- Revoke Bill 23.
- Build affordable housing, in areas where people want to live.
