Our Demands

01 TELL THE TRUTh

Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change.

02 ACT NOW

Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.

03 BEYOND POLITICS

Government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizen’s Assembly on climate and ecological justice.

04 JUST TRANSITION

We demand a just transition that prioritizes the most vulnerable people and establishes indigenous sovereignty; establishes reparations and remediation led by and for Black people, Indigenous people, people of color and poor communities for years of environmental injustice, establishes legal rights for ecosystems to thrive and regenerate in perpetuity, and repairs the effects of ongoing ecocide to prevent extinction of humanity and all species, in order to maintain a livable, just planet for all.

These demands remain under development.
