Make polluters pay into a Climate Recovery Fund
Make fossil fuel companies pay for the climate disasters they’re fuelling: it’s time for a Climate Recovery Fund.
By exploiting coal, oil and gas, fossil fuel companies are fuelling extreme weather, making climate disasters more frequent and more severe–from hotter heatwaves to more destructive wildfires and unsafe air quality.
We can’t afford any more ‘wake-up calls’, the climate crisis is here and now.
Add your name and call on Canadian governments to hold polluters accountable by making them pay into a new Climate Recovery Fund. This fund would go directly to communities and local governments facing the brunt of the climate crisis and in need of financial support to repair, rebuild, and adapt to future climate change impacts.
