1.5 = Zero Fossil Fuels Canada

It’s simple — if we want a safe climate, coal, oil & gas need to stay in the ground.

The world’s most authoritative voice on climate science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), released a report on October 8th on what it means to limit global climate change to 1.5°C – the target Canada not only endorsed, but fought for at the 2015 Paris climate summit. The bottomline: any hope for a safe climate hinges on ceasing fossil fuel expansion, immediately.

In Canada, the translation is simple: any expansion of the fossil fuel industry — whether it’s via increasing tar sands extraction in Alberta, fracking LNG in BC, or offshore oil drilling in Nova Scotia — is fundamentally in conflict with securing a safe climate. Equally pressing, as the country’s highest courts have confirmed, Canada’s pursuit of mass fossil fuel expansion is undermining the Trudeau government’s commitments to Indigenous rights and reconciliation.

We need  action now. Sign this petition to call on all federal party leaders to hold an emergency debate in the House of Commons on Canada’s plan to limit climate change to 1.5°C.

Dear party leaders, hold an emergency debate on Canada's plan for 1.5°C

I demand that you and your party members motion for an emergency debate in the House of Commons on Canada’s plan to limit climate change to 1.5°C. I urge you to read the latest report from the world’s most authoritative body on climate change, the IPCC, which makes it clear that we must cease fossil fuel expansion if we want to secure a safe climate. Tar sands expansion projects, LNG fracking, and offshore oil drilling put Canada on the wrong path.

Dear party leaders, hold an emergency debate on Canada's plan for 1.5°C
