Today, 73 organizations and 106 academics sent a letter to PM Trudeau and federal ministers, urging the Government of Canada to end all public financing of fossil fuels, including petrochemicals, ahead of #COP29. It’s time to #StopFundingFossils

Perfect placement by the Globe and Mail. Climate disasters are indeed brought to us by RBC and all others who continue to fund fossil fuel expansion while national treasures burn.

Exciting news! Canada is showing leadership with the passage of the Sustainable Jobs Act, Bill C-50.
This legislation requires govt to equip workers and communities impacted by the energy transition with the tools they need to thrive in the green economy. #Cndpoli 1/

For a just climate transition in Canada: we invite the government to implement Climate Transition Plans across the economy, and the Climate-Aligned Finance Act #CAFA, to help align our financial system with a safer global climate.
Angela Carter retweeted
It's mind-boggling that our governments are still putting BILLIONS of public dollars into fossil fuels every year, working directly against climate action
Canada must put an end to it this year w a strong policy to end all public financing for FF👇
🇨🇦's public finance institutions provided CAD 7.6–13.5bn annually (2020–2022) to the fossil fuel sector.
With a policy to end domestic public finance for fossil fuels expected this year, our report outlines the scale of the problem + best practices. 🧵1/4

Global warming caused by humans is advancing at 0.26 °C per decade – the highest rate since records began 🌡️⚠️
Warming caused by human activity reached a record 1.31°C in 2023, and the longer-term trend shows a continued rise.

Our new research in @sciencemagazine shows that no new fossil fuel projects are needed to meet energy demand in scenarios limiting warming to 1.5°C. We need bans & advocacy to build a #NoNewFossil norm doi.org/10.1126/science.adn6… @OlivierBvK @st_pye @FuelOnTheFire @ucl @IISD_Energy

Great story by @CBCFletch.
If the oil + gas industry is serious about meaningful climate action, they should be backing the Emissions Cap to the hilt.
Instead, they're asking for taxpayers to prop up unproven carbon capture projects.

Three easy reasons why financial policy is both 1) cool and 2) important for climate safety. I am so glad to have this op-ed featured in one of Canada's largest newspapers. Read on!
