Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:
  • We want our children and grandchildren to have a safe and healthy world;
  • Canada needs to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2035 and be near zero by 2040 to keep global warming to 1.5°C;
  • We already have affordable clean technologies to help us do this;
  • Canada is one of the world’s top emitters and we want to do our fair share; and
  • We will create many new jobs in low carbon industries.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Set a goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2035 and reach near zero by 2040;
2. Establish through legislation, a national carbon budget to plan Canada’s emissions; and
3. Report each year on whether Canada is meeting this carbon budget.
