Climate Change & Natural Resources

As climate change increasingly threatens people’s lives and livelihoods, advancing a gender-just transition to an inclusive, green economy should be a priority for Canada.

The federal government should:

1. Support a just transition to a net-zero carbon economy that opens equal opportunities for women, 2SLGBTQ+, Indigenous and racialized people to access green jobs and contribute to building an inclusive, climate-resilient society.
2. Mitigate climate change through rapid and deep cuts to emissions, and develop a national climate adaptation plan that addresses the social inequalities that limit some people’s ability to cope with climate-related risks and disasters.
3. Support low- and middle-income countries’ efforts to adapt to climate change and provide targeted funding for women’s rights organizations pursuing feminist climate action.

1. What steps will your party take to ensure that a just transition to a net-zero carbon economy includes women, 2SLGBTQ+, Indigenous and racialized people?
2. What measures will your party take to help Canadians cope with, and adapt to, climate change?
3. Will your party increase funding to support developing countries’ efforts to adapt to climate change, and commit to ending funding for new fossil fuel projects abroad?
