Donate to the Fight Climate Change with Policy Fund

IT’S TIME FOR BOLD ACTION. WE ARE LIVING IN A CLIMATE CRISIS.

WE CAN NO LONGER IGNORE THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN CANADA AND ACROSS THE WORLD

Earth’s temperature is the hottest it’s ever been in over 2,000 years.1
In July 2024, a catastrophic wildfire engulfed the historic town of Jasper, Alberta.2 This fire left 30% of the town’s structures damaged or destroyed.3 In the weeks leading up to the fire, Jasper had received less than 1mm of rain and temperatures reached a high of 38°C.4 These are some of the many effects of climate change.

If we continue to pollute our planet we’ll risk droughts that can create food shortages, our water quality will get worse and affect our health, and more species will become endangered or extinct.5,6

Climate change is not a distant problem. It’s here and we have to do better.

HOW CAN WE STOP CLIMATE CHANGE? IT STARTS WITH POLICY

Individual actions can help, but they’re not enough. In order to fight this crisis we need systems change. We need governments at all levels to implement policies that reduce greenhouse gases. Policies like carbon pricing that incentivize us to use cleaner fuels and be more efficient. Or, further funding regulations and subsidies that support low-carbon technology like electric vehicles and heat pumps for buildings, like the clean energy improvement program in Alberta. All of these policies will help individuals and businesses shift from polluting activities to climate-friendly alternatives.

Organizations across the country are advocating for these policies. They are fighting for our planet and our future. In the past few years we’ve seen encouraging policy changes. But there’s still a long way to go. We need your help.

“It’s encouraging that many people are starting to change their habits whether that’s choosing to recycle, have zero-waste meals, and carpool. But, in order for us to really end the climate crisis, our whole energy system needs to change. This can only be done through policy. By donating to the Fight Climate Change with Policy Fund, you’re making the decision to be part of the solution that will address climate change and create a better, cleaner world for all.”
