Climate Leadership: Gas Industry and Climate Action

climate leadership: Canada must apply its international climate leadership to all domestic action, the letter says, according to National Observer. It must demonstrate how a major fossil fuels producer and exporter can transition away from these pollutants, blazing a trail for other fossil fuel-reliant economies to follow. The group of youth from across the world said Canada has taken a leading role globally in pushing for climate action, but must apply the same commitment domestically, in a letter addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and dated Dec. 10, Human Rights Day. They also wrote separately to Norway, another developed economy with a major and still-expanding oil and gas industry, with similar demands. Trudeau has sought to align himself with Thunberg, who has galvanized the world's young people to demand action on climate change after she started skipping school last year to protest outside the Swedish parliament.
