In the wake of summer 2021's deadly heat wave and unprecedented fires, nearly 200 organizations representing well over one million British Columbians joined in a call to the BC government to fundamentally reboot its CleanBC plan and implement a genuine and transformative climate emergency plan.
The open letter – “An Urgent Call to the BC Government to Confront the Climate Emergency” – calls on the government to demonstrate the necessary leadership and immediately undertake 10 bold emergency actions.
In addition to environmental and climate action organizations (including West Coast Environmental Law Association), the list of signatories includes a diverse network of Indigenous groups, labour organizations, faith groups, health organizations, youth and seniors, arts and culture organizations, and businesses.
