What we do

Greenpeace activists today confronted Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn with the fact that his government has still not committed to meeting Canada’s legal obligation for greenhouse gas reductions under the Kyoto Protocol. Activists were joined by a polar bear carrying a placard asking “What About Kyoto?”.

Greenpeace keeps the pressure on politicians to honour our Kyoto obligations and oppose new tar sands developments.

  • Greenpeace is lobbying the Alberta government to stop new tar sands development and address the environmental destruction caused by existing projects.

  • Greenpeace is demanding that the federal government meet Canada's commitments under the Kyoto Protocol, and end tax breaks to the tar sands.

  • Greenpeace is advocating that more states adopt a low-carbon fuel standard, and stop importing tar sands oil.
