The world is not on track for a climate safe future but there is a path forward. I just sent a letter to the #G20 leaders and asked them to #FollowTheMoney. Most importantly, these policies must be rooted in human rights and gender justice. nwmd.io/s/twitter/ZxQ0…

I just sent a message from 2025 to my Member of Parliament and Minister Guilbeault to illustrate a future where we tackle climate change and politicians act with courage to deliver #JustTransitionAct. Use this one click tool to send a fax from 2025! nwmd.io/s/twitter/ZhE0…


.@s_guilbeault Rampant resource exploitation is driving the biodiversity crisis and environmental racism in Canada. Will you commit to passing a Biodiversity Act that respects nature and upholds Indigenous sovereignty? #ProtectNature @GreenpeaceCA act.gp/3D84Bbr

Canada is literally on fire because of political inaction on the climate crisis. We need political leaders to act with courage now to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels. Sign the petition now and call on @JustinTrudeau to act. #CanadaOnFire act.350.org/sign/on-fire-a…

I’m still savouring this week’s news 🎆: @uwaterloo has committed to remove fossil fuels from its pension + endowment investments and to achieve 100% carbon neutrality by 2040. More details here👇 plus a thread of thanks.

Today is a monumental day for @uwaterloo! 🖤💛 This afternoon, the Board of Governors unanimously voted in favour of adopting a landmark #decarbonization strategy for their investments, a legacy that cements them as a leader and innovator on climate action. #BeyondDivestmentUW
