0 Comments

 

 
We, the undersigned residents of the City of St. John’s, draw the attention of the Mayor and Council to the following:
 
THAT, WHEREAS
-According to “The Way Forward on Climate Change”, the Provincial Government’s climate action plan, the province is already experiencing the effects of climate change;  
-Newfoundland and Labrador joined the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change in 2016, but is not on track to meet its 2020 targets;  
-The Strategic Plan of the City of St. John’s declares sustainability as one of the city’s four strategic directions, “today and for future generations”;  
The effects and threats of climate change fit the City’s official definition of an “emergency”;  
​
THEREFORE, your petitioners call upon the Mayor and Council to declare a CLIMATE EMERGENCY and take meaningful action to meet emissions targets.
