Advocacy

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
