Despite repeated promises that there would be no removal of lands from the Greenbelt, the Government of Ontario is proposing to do just that ontarionature.good.do/greenbelt-land…

⏰ The clock is ticking! We are entering the “official” last hours of #COP27, but we are still without a strong draft cover document📑 As @UN SG @antonioguterres stated “We are at crunch time in #COP27 negotiations” and we have an important question for World Leaders: 🧵

ontarionature.good.do/bill-23/email/… Ontario is proposing sweeping changes to the province’s environmental protections and cutting out the public from meaningful involvement in land use planning and decisions affecting their communities. Join @ontarionature in standing up for nature!

President @suluhusamia Tourists will think twice before traveling to Tanzania if this is how the government treats indigenous communities #NoMaasaiEvictions in #Tanzania secure.avaaz.org/No_Maasai_Evic…

The #Nuchatlaht First Nation is in court to reclaim their territory, which has been impacted by industrial logging and fishing for almost a century at the hands of the B.C. government & giant corporations. Support the Nuchatlaht with their title case: chuffed.org/project/nuchat…

UNSG speaks truth to power at #UNGA "Majority of young people suffer high levels of [#ClimateAnxiety] due to the state of our planet. 60% of your future voters feel betrayed by their Govs" #WeFeelThisToo Thanks @antonioguterres! Now will politicians act on the #ClimateEmergency?

Politicians have forgotten how to feel. They are numb. We are NOT. 75% of youth feel frightened by the future and 45% feel #climateanxiety affects their daily lives. This is the cost of government inaction. @BorisJohnson @JoeBiden: Will you up your game at #UNGA? #WeFeelThisToo

The election is on! Here's how Canada's federal parties stand on 5 environmental categories: 1) climate targets 2) just transition 3) right to a healthy environment 4) environmental justice 5) Indigenous-led conservation. #Elxn44 ecojustice.ca/federal-electi… via @ecojustice_ca
