We need bold climate action now

Dear Paov,

It’s hard not to feel the urgency of the climate fight when we have just seen the Arctic melt in the dead of its long 24-hour winter night. At this moment, when the climate crisis calls for bold action, our leaders offer us only marginal change.

Our latest paper, Zero Carbon or Bust, is both a stark reality check on the task ahead and a launching pad for the decisive legislation we need. It shows that solutions to this crisis are readily available. What’s missing is the political will to deploy them on the scale required.

That gives us a lot of hope. But it must also spur us to act.

We’ve got about 30 years to stop polluting the atmosphere. Abstract targets and clean growth initiatives aside, that’s the goal science demands. Canadians can enjoy a great quality of life in a zero-carbon economy but it requires us to reevaluate much of modern life — how we grow food, build homes, power our gadgets, travel to work and even manage our money.

This is a collective problem and it requires coordinated action.
