What is KYOTOplus?

KYOTOplus is a petition-based campaign to pressure the federal government for real action on global warming.

Greenpeace and 30 other public interest groups are asking Canadians to sign the KYOTOplus petition to build the pressure needed to get action.

Reduction Targets

KYOTOplus calls for Canada to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at least 25 per cent (from 1990 levels) by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050. These targets are science-based and reflect the recommendations of the international scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
