| Peoples Submission - Copenhagen Accord | 10 February 10 |
 A network of leading non-government organizations made a Peoples Submission to the United Nations to represent Canadians who support Canada meeting its Kyoto Protocol emission reduction targets. The Peoples Submission was filed by January 31, 2020, the date by which countries who signed onto the Copenhagen Accord, were to submit their target emissions in keeping with the Accord language.The Canada Peoples Submission will be considered by the UN with submissions from other countries with their emissions targets for 2020. It suggests Canada should take stronger action by reducing emissions 25% below 1990 levels by 2020 (a resolution already passed by the Canadian parliament). The Peoples Submission is accompanied by signatures of 150,000 Canadians who signed the KyotoPlus petition.
