#COP27  Today we took part in the Global Day of Action Climate March to demand that industrialized countries, who are largely responsible for the climate crisis, pay to compensate the loss and damage inflicted on Global South countries. #ClimateJustice

Environment & Climate Change Canada modelled an expected contribution of reducing emissions by 31% below 2005 levels by 2030, which falls short of Canada’s fair share of the global effort required to limit global warming to 1.5 C (which is 60%). It’s not enough. 5/6

At last year’s climate negotiations (COP26), for the first time, the Government of Canada promised to cap oil and gas sector emissions. This year’s #COP27 presents the perfect opportunity to announce strong targets for the emissions cap policy. 4/6

Climate science is crystal clear. To limit global warming within the margin evidence shows to be relatively safe (1.5 C) we must: ✔️ Immediately stop expanding oil and gas infrastructure. ✔️ Set a strong cap on oil and gas emissions and reduce that cap over time. 2/6

For decades, the fossil fuel industry has used its power, wealth and influence to drown out voices and water down international agreements at climate conferences. At COP27, will marginalized voices – Indigenous, youth, civil society – finally be heard?

In addition to mitigation and adaptation, loss and damage mechanisms are key components of the international response to climate change. Such mechanisms make it possible to repair and redress inevitable damage.

The Paris Climate Agreement, which informs annual COP negotiations, defines three pillars for progress in fighting climate change effectively: mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage.
