Canada climate & energyThere's no denying it: Canada is not on track to meet its climate commitments. In recent years our emissions have gone up, not down. Oil and gas production is now both our largest source and fastest growing cause of emissions, which means it will never be possible to meet our targets while continuing to increase fossil fuel production. As Canadians we have a responsibility to make sure our country is doing its part to address the climate crisis and to hold our elected leaders to account. Are you ready?

Communities standing up to oil and gasIf we want to combat climate change, we can’t afford to keep extracting and burning fossil fuels — much less the dirtiest and most extreme kinds like tar sands. That’s why we’re pulling out all the stops to delay, hamper, and ultimately block new extreme oil projects. We know that we need more renewable energy — not more oil trains, tankers, pipelines and refineries — and we’re willing to fight for that future. Are you in?

Fossil-free towns and regionsWe’re working with local activists and governments up and down the West Coast to create fossil-free towns and regions. In some places, we’re supporting legislation and moratoriums that block all new fossil fuel development. in others, we’re kickstarting the equitable transition to electric vehicles—but in all of them, we’re creating a cleaner, safer place for people to live.
