Statement on Canada’s failure to win a seat on the United Nations’ Security Council

Commenting on Canada’s failed bid to win a temporary seat on the UN Security Council, John Bennett, Executive Director of Sierra Club Canada, states, “Canada’s unilateral withdrawal from the United Nations’ legally-binding treaty on climate change (Kyoto Protocol) may have played an important role in Canada’s lost bid for a seat on the Security Council. Leadership on the Security Council involves respect for the United Nations and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.”
