From MP Paul Lefebvre, Member of Parliament for Sudbury and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources. "Great meeting this morning with Citizens Climate Lobby members from Canada , the U.S. and Europe to discuss the value of a Carbon Border Adjustment mechanism for the European Green Deal. Nous devons reconnaître la légitimité du principe de la taxe carbone aux frontières pour que nul ne puisse tirer bénéfice - ce qui serait un comble - du dumping environnemental."

Great news to end the week on. Happy weekend everyone.

Concerned about methane emissions and perhaps cheaters? Well, the most sensitive methane satellite to date is now operational.

A paid version of the map with a resolution of 25 metres by 25 metres is also available. https://www.ghgsat.com/

On September 23, the Speech from the Throne opened the new session of Parliament and outlined the government’s agenda. Julie Payette, the Governor General of Ca...nada, delivered the speech and identified four foundations for the government’s agenda. One of those four foundations is Taking action on extreme risks from climate change. Payette said, Canadians know climate change threatens our health, way of life, and planet. They want climate action now, and that is what the Government will continue to deliver. See what else our neighbors to the north, Citizens Climate Lobby Canada, are up to in addressing #climatechange. Go #Canada!

Great Post by Laurel Collins, Member of Parliament for Victoria, Critic for Environment and Climate Change, Deputy Critic for Infrastructure and Communities, and NDP Caucus Vice-Chair. "I recently met with my Victoria chapter of Citizens Climate Lobby Canada. The conversation centered around carbon pricing and legislating emission targets. It was great to share my goal of creating a Climate Accountability Office, a robust and independent structure to hold the government accountable to its environmental goals and targets. Chatting with such engaged advocates was a highlight of my day, especially having a strong youth voice at the table!" https://www.facebook.com//a.142492759783/2683881191941697/
