Citizens' Climate Lobby Canada

What they're asking for

In the registry's own words. Descriptions are only filed for meetings since mid-2024.

1. Bill S-238, the Climate-Aligned Finance Act. Bill S-238, which was developed through extensive consultation with national and international experts, provides a practical framework to mobilize finances toward projects that meaningfully reduce emissions; mitigate systemic climate risks threatening our economy; and promote transparency and accountability, helping investors make informed decisions. Citizens' Climate Lobby Canada is currently advocating for the bill to be passed by the Senate and sent to the House of Commons.

3. Debt Justice. Conversations focus on the effects that debt has on the Global South and Indigenous communities, including paying down debt instead of investing in climate-resilient infrastructure. The three main asks are: debt cancellation for unjust and unsustainable debts; global financial reform to prevent future crises; and a debt resolution framework within the United Nations that is transparent, binding and fair.
