UNICEF Report - Clear evidence that children continue to bear the burden of climate impacts. We must reduce emissions to meet the 1.5C threshold, protect children from the impacts of climate change, and prioritize child health in #ClimateAction @CPCHE_info

Now is a dark and scary time to remind you all that the Doug Ford government has weakened conservation authorities, the very bodies designed to protect us against the worst impacts of flooding (which will get worse and more intense due to climate change)

To those arguing today's rain has nothing to do with climate change: the Doug Ford gov't conducted the first Ontario-wide climate study and found extreme precipitation is going to become more extreme and, without climate action, have devastating impacts.
