As Canada navigates the tremendous challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, CPJ believes that investments in a just transition are more important than ever.

CPJ joined representatives ​from labour, social justice, Indigenous, faith and environmental organizations today to call on the Government of Canada to greatly increase ​the funds and programs needed to build a sustainable economy and drastically cut emissions.

People of faith across Canada commit to reduce their personal emissions and call for accelerated climate action.

This infographic video explores how our changing climate adversely impacts food security around the world.

As people of faith, we are called to love, and advocate for, all of God’s glorious creation.

This week, I have heard pastors and church leaders from small island developing countries share as they navigate theologically through a world of rapidly changing climate.

For many, a just transition is a way forward, but some of our thinking has left out the most marginalized voices in Canadian society.

Canada is at a crossroads. After a divisive federal election, the climate crisis is one among many significant issues that need to be addressed. Our governments, at all levels, clearly have important roles to play. So too do we, as citizens and as people of faith.

Today, CPJ joined Climate Action Network Canada and 29 other organizations from across Canada in writing to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. As he prepares to form a new cabinet, we called on him to put in places mechanisms to meet stronger climate targets that would limit warming to 1.5°.

Canada needs to transition to a clean economy — and we need to make sure we do this right. We can, and must, do this by pursuing a just transition.
