Canada Needs the Climate Change
Accountability Act





The Canadian Parliament is currently debating legislation that could help turn Canada into a leader in dealing with global warming, the most serious threat facing our planet today.

If passed, the Climate Change Accountability Act (Bill C-311) would help prevent dangerous climate change by ensuring “that Canada contributes fully to the stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.”

Canada would be committed to taking the climate action called for by our KYOTOplus campaign: reduce emissions of greenhouse gases at least 25 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020, and by 80 per cent by 2050. These science-based targets are essential to avoid the most devastating impacts of climate change.

Bill C-311 is with the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development for further debate and will eventually be brought back to the House for a final vote.

Take action today:


Send an e-message to the members of the environment committee, and your own MP.

Send them two simple messages:


  • Tell them that global warming is the most serious threat facing our planet today, and the fate of the earth is in their hands.
  • Tell them that all parties must unite, and pass Bill C-311 before the conclusion of the United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen December 7-18, 2009.
