We respectfully call on the Parliament of Canada to develop a federal plan for leadership on climate that connects and coordinates federal, provincial, and municipal jurisdictions and provides global leadership to:

• Support a binding international agreement that ensures the long-term stability of our climate by committing to reduce carbon emissions and set fair and clear targets to keep global average temperatures stay well below a 2˚ Celsius increase from pre-industrial levels;
• Establish more stringent emission targets in Canada by working with all levels of government to put in place a range of policies, including a price on carbon emissions, developing and promoting a national renewable energy policy, ending fossil fuel subsidies, and encouraging the creation of an increasing number of high quality, sustainable jobs in the renewable energy sector;
• Commit at least $500 million in new disbursements annually to the United Nation’s Green Climate Fund to assist the poorest and most affected countries to adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts.
