Meet 2030 and 2035 targets
Sign on the House of Commons websitePetitioners ask the Government of Canada to meet Canada’s 2030 and 2035 emissions targets by strengthening policies: end fossil‑fuel subsidies, triple investment in renewables, expand the electrical grid and recognize Indigenous stewardship.
Why we would sign this petition
- It would align federal action with Canada’s 2030 and 2035 emissions targets by strengthening policies to deliver those reductions.
- Ending fossil‑fuel subsidies and tripling renewable investment could accelerate the clean‑energy transition, expand the grid and help lower long‑term energy costs for many Canadians.
- Recognizing Indigenous stewardship would incorporate Indigenous knowledge and rights into land and water management of climate responses.
Why we wouldn’t sign this petition
- Tripling investments and expanding the grid will require large public spending and may force trade‑offs with other budgetary priorities.
- The petition provides few operational details on how targets would be achieved, leaving feasibility and accountability uncertain.
- Some may prefer alternative approaches (such as market mechanisms or phased transitions) or more targeted measures rather than the broad changes requested.
The summary and both sets of reasons are AI-generated from the petition and given equal weight. Claims are the petitioners’ own; consult the official record for the full text.
Official petition
Petition to the Government of Canada Canadians are concerned about the changing climate and the resulting droughts, wildfires and floods caused by a warming planet; The federal government is not addressing the climate crisis in ways that will fundamentally prevent further greenhouse gas emissions; It is necessary to break through this climate silence with clear, honest, and consistent public communication grounded in science and lived experience; Recognition and honouring of Indigenous stewardship of land and water are essential to our future; It is critical to eliminate the self-interest that supports the fossil fuel industries with subsidies, thereby delaying the clean energy transition; It is fundamental that we break through the climate silence by showing that climate-friendly solutions are cheaper, more efficient and can benefit every Canadian; Tripling Canada’s investment in renewable and clean energy and building a broad electrical grid is a critical nation-building project; and True leadership is overdue regarding the climate crisis, because later is too late. We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to honour and ensure Canada’s 2030 and 2035 emissions targets and strengthen the policies that make them achievable for the love of our children and grandchildren.
