Where the political parties stand this election

Comparing the environmental platforms of the four main parties

The need for fast and aggressive action on climate change hasn’t gone anywhere.  Unfortunately, it’s been elbowed off of the political priority list this election by more in-your-face issues like tariffs and affordability (something I’m fairly sure future generations will struggle to comprehend).

Still, all four main political parties have made campaign promises relating to the environment.  Here’s a quick summary of what’s been announced so far. (* means no mention so far)

It’s worth noting that as of this writing, none of the four parties have released their full campaign platforms, so more environmental and climate change announcements may be coming. 

Voting is a precious right and every citizen’s opportunity to have their say – so please vote this election.  And if environmental issues are important to you, I hope this table may offer a bit of clarity and direction on who to vote for.
