💡Advocacy win for CPJ's members and all of Canada: the Clean Electricity Regulations have been released! Alongside other civil society organizations such as the @davidsuzukifdn, CPJ has been proud to participate in lobby days with MPs, Senators, and staffers, make consultation submissions, and call on the government to urge them to release the Clean Electricity Regulations without delay. The Regulations are one key step towards a future with climate justice—as CPJ Climate Justice Policy Analyst Maryo Wahba explains, “transitioning to a net-zero electricity grid would not only reduce household energy costs by more than 12% but will also create decent jobs, improve air quality, and prevent the release of over 180 megatons of planet-heating emissions.” To learn more about what this announcement means, click the link in our bio 🔗 #climatejustice #climateaction #Climatecrisis #ClimateAdvocacy #sustainablefuture #environmentaljustice #CPJ #publicjustice #cdnpoli #climateactionnow #endfossilfuels #justtransition #cleanelectricity #renewableenergy #cer
