Rapid Decarbonization Group works to inform government and non-government actors about the need for urgent action to address the climate crisis. Our speciality is to advocate for climate policies that are in line with what the most up-to-date science establishes as our federal and provincial GHG emission reduction targets. At the moment we are focusing on five major issues:
- The implementation of federal and provincial carbon budgets
- Emission reduction scenarios related to food consumption and production
- Domestic and international aviation emissions
- Lifestyle and behavior change
- Military emissions
We advocate for a change in climate policy by demanding new laws, regulations, and other government action through:
- Meeting with key stakeholders
- Participation in public consultations
- Production of policy briefs, backgrounders, and fact sheets
- Engagement in the public debate through a media presence
