Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:

• We want our children and grandchildren to have a safe and healthy world;
• Canada needs to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2035 and be near zero by 2040 to keep global warming to 1.5°C;
• We already have affordable clean technologies to help us do this;
• Canada is one of the world’s top emitters and we want to do our fair share; and
• We will create many new jobs in low carbon industries.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:

1. Set a goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2035 and reach near zero by 2040;

2. Establish through legislation, a national carbon budget to plan Canada’s emissions; and

3. Report each year on whether Canada is meeting this carbon budget.
