Young Canadians Urge Action on Climate 30 April 11

CYCC logo Canadian Youth Climate Coalition (CYCC) - a united front of youth from across Canada dedicated to tackling the biggest challenge of our generation: climate change - has a set of demands and reviewed the climate platform of Canada's five major political parties.
The CYCC has five climate demands:
  1. Justice across generations
  2. Justice between people of the same generation
  3. Youth participation in government decision-making
  4. Just transition to a Green Economy
  5. Energy for today, tomorrow and the future

The demands were delivered to Leaders of Canada's major political parties. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May not only accepted the CYCC's demands, but she agreed to sign on right then and there! No response has been received from the other political leaders.

The CYCC "Climate Report Cards" provide a set of one-pagers about the climate, environmental and inter-generational initiatives promised in each of the five major party platforms. This project provides a resource for informed voting, though the CYCC in no way endorses nor denounces any party but have created the cards as an educational tool.
