What can Canada do to re-energize? KAIROS is urging our government to build a just and sustainable energy economy, in which Canada not only fulfills its Kyoto responsibilities and takes a leading role in post-Kyoto negotiations but also:
-
examines how domestic and international policies supporting the fossil fuel industry (such as subsidies and diplomatic interventions) contribute to ecological destruction, human rights abuses, and conflict around the world, and
-
creates binding legislation holding Canadian energy companies operating overseas accountable for human rights and environmental abuses that occur on their watch.
We need your help to make this happen! Please sign our action sheet saying what steps you’re willing to take to re-energize, and what you expect of the Canadian government! We will use these the collective strength of these statements in our advocacy efforts with government.
