Wildfire & Flood Survivors Call for Emissions Cap After Climate Change Impact

Podcast below on calls for an emissions cap from survivors of climate change impact like wildfires and floods.

Read emissions cap facts here. We interview survivors of wildfires and floods across the country who lost businesses, communities, or had property damaged. They are calling for the Canadian Government to enact an emissions cap on oil and gas corporations. That emissions cap is now out in draft form as of yesterday. We also get into the new policy, how it looks, how it can be strengthened, why it needs to be implemented rapidly.

The emissions cap will NOT harm our economy, nor jobs, nor grocery prices and oil and gas lobbyists do not care about you – that much is clear. For many oil and gas companies the emissions cap can be met through further cheap methane efforts and there are still cost-effective options that are ripe for the picking (Pembina Institute, November 14th, 2024).

We also recently held exhibits of artefacts from climate disasters which featured testimonies from survivors calling for an emissions cap entitled Protect What We Love in both Ottawa and NYC.

Climate survivors talk about their experiences and meeting others at the exhibit who have been impacted by climate change.
