The Pact for a New Green Deal is a Canadian organization urging support for environmental and economic justice. On their site (https://greennewdealcanada.ca) they state:
“The climate crisis is here. Arctic permafrost is melting, forests, towns, and Indigenous territories are burning. States of emergency – declared for once-in-a-century floods – are becoming commonplace, and millions around the world already face dislocation and starvation.
But that’s not the only thing keeping us up at night. Many of us are struggling to find an affordable place to live, or a decent job to support our families. Hate crimes and racism are on the rise. And promise to Indigenous peoples have yet to be implemented.
We need an ambitious plan to deal with multiple crises at the same time.
A bold and far reaching plan to cut emissions in half in 11 years in line with Indigenous knowledge and climate science, create more than a million good jobs you can support a family with, and build inclusive communities in the process.
We need a Green New Deal — for everyone. And we need everyone to be a part of building it.”
They conclude by urging individuals and organizations in Canada to join them in this project by signing up on their website, https://greennewdealcanada.ca.
