For Canada to do our part to curb climate change and cope with changes we are already seeing, Canadians will have to engage on all levels. The federal government, the provinces, cities and individuals must all be involved.

The People’s Climate Movement believes that our actions can make a difference, and that we each have a role to play in addressing climate change.

Toronto Climate Strategy
The People’s Climate Movement supports climate action for a healthy, equitable, prosperous Toronto.
Toronto Council declared a Climate Emergency and signed the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. PCM applauds these steps and calls on Council to act on them.
PCM Toronto residents are active in the TransformTO process to carry out a climate change vision and plan for Toronto: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2050.
The #Picture2050  photography contest (2017) was part of this initiative. See the photos here.

Canada’s Climate Plan
The People’s Climate Movement calls upon the Government of Canada to take concrete steps to transition away from fossil fuel production:

  1. Be transparent about amount of money spent on fossil fuel subsidies each year
  2. End subsidies for fossil fuel companies
  3. Phase out existing fossil fuel production
  4. Fully support the transition of workers and communities dependent on the fossil fuel industry to a clean energy economy.
