SUMMARY:Climate Change Adaptation: Why do we need it and what are we doing?
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED. YOU CAN VIEW THE PRESENTATION & FIND FURTHER RESOURCES HERE. \nOn May 1st\, 2024\, CALL member Dr. Jennifer Penney presented on the topic: Climate Change Adaptation: Why do we need it and what are we doing?  \nActivists rightly prioritize reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the fight against climate change. However successful we are in reducing emissions\, climate change is already endangering us and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. We need to understand these dangers and advocate for action that makes our communities less vulnerable. \n \nDr. Jennifer Penney shared with us ways to make our communities more adaptive and resilient and what the federal and provincial governments are doing (or not doing) to get us there. \n

SUMMARY:RALLY TO SUPPORT THE NEW ONTARIO CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION & RESILIENCE ACT AT QUEEN'S PARK\, @9:30 a.m. on Thursday\, May 16th\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED. On Thursday May 16th at 9:30 a.m. at the Ontario Legislature\, MPP Peter Tabuns tabled a Private Member’s Bill\, the Ontario Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience Act. The Act was written with the help of Seniors for Climate Action Now! and Climate Action for Lifelong Learners member Jennifer Penney. The current government has no legislation in place to protect Ontarians from the impacts of climate change. If the government were to pass this Act\, it would acknowledge the impacts of climate change and reduce the harms of more frequent and intense extreme heat\, storms\, flooding and wildfires.\n\nThis rally was held near the front steps of the Ontario Legislature at Queen’s Park from 9:30-10:30 a.m. on Thursday\, May 16th\, 2024\, to support the introduction of the Act\, and to call on the government to adopt it.
