The Toronto Climate Campaign endorses and promotes KYOTOplus, an urgent coalition petition effort calling on elected officials to ensure that Canada honours its Kyoto commitment and sets a national target to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 25% (from the 1990 level) by 2020. Act now for the future. Click here to sign the KYOTOplus Petition.
On Sunday, December 7, 2008, at Yonge-Dundas Square, Toronto, hundreds of Torontonians braved extreme weather to join with Canadians in cities across the country in support of the Global Day of Action to Stop Global Warming.
• This mobilization was to demand that the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Poznań, Poland (Dec. 1-12) support deep greenhouse gas reductions.
• In Canada, the Harper government has failed to act on global warming and has blocked progress at previous climate meetings. The Canadian Government must take a stand against global warming at home and abroad.
• We demand that the government increase support for renewable energy, energy efficiency and green jobs.
• Sign and promote the KYOTOplus petition (www.kyotoplus.ca) and join the campaign to ensure the Kyoto Protocol is strengthened and extended at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (Nov. 30 - Dec. 11, 2009).
Without a groundswell of public opinion, we risk a global catastrophe. There is an urgent need for radical action on global warming. Make Canada part of the solution to global warming.
