The 2024 Year Impact & Year Ahead for Sierra Club Canada

Our previous holiday episode on how to talk with others on climate change is available here: https://www.sierraclub.ca/climate-change-family-talk/

Organizing exhibitions with wildfire and flood survivors, progressing dialogues for energy democracy and the Rights of Nature, concrete victories for the critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale and for Québec green spaces vital to biodiversity, as well as progress on national and local climate policy - Sierra Club Canada’s work in 2024 was connected to all of this. Despite all the political theatre, most Canadians continue to want concrete action aimed at lowering corporate oil and gas pollution and at addressing climate change.

We discuss these wins and what it will take to win in the future.

We also discuss issues like the cost of living and life struggles and why systemic solutions that go after big polluters are more important than ever. Finally we look to 2025, and our plans to keep working on the above, to keep doing outdoor education, film screenings we’re organizing on Line 5 early in the new year, and building out our resources for the whole environmental movement.

You can as always find other ways to take action on environmental issues, like petitions, here: https://www.sierraclub.ca/take-action/
