Will he follow through with a policy that limits carbon pollution from Canada’s #1 polluters? This week’s report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world’s leading climate scientists, paints a terrifying picture of the future if Canada and the world don’t tackle fossil fuels with urgency.

Fossil fuels are the root cause of climate change, of long-standing environmental injustices, and are also frequently connected to geopolitical strife and violent conflicts. Right now, there is no funding, no governance framework, no international agreement to help people displaced by climate impacts and protect their human rights.
