Canada’s Reckless Stonewalling at COP27 Must Not Repeat at COP15

  Hello Friend, Canada is a repeat offender. Since the Kyoto Protocol was signed – 25 years ago – Canada has met none of its global climate action commitments.  It is strange that we would now be rewarded with hosting an international conference meant to address a biodiversity crisis that stems…
