19th General Meeting
"The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it." - Robert Swann
G23-P001 Federal regulation and oversight of carbon offsets and credits
BE IT RESOLVED that the Green Party of Canada fundamentally challenges the use of carbon offsets as federal policy unless it can be verified scientifically and audited on a case-by-case basis that additional and permanent GHG reductions are achieved that have not already been claimed by another entity and are not associated with significant social or environmental harms.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Party supports bringing the sale of all carbon offsets and credits nationwide under federal regulation and oversight.
Submitter: Cardigan EDA
Sponsors: Lisa Barrett, Jocelyn Gifford, Cate Root, Tyler Beaulac, Evelyn Tanaka
Note from staff: This proposal is for consideration at the 19th Annual General Meeting. A second copy, with additional background information, is available in the Workshop to allow you to collaborate on amendments. You can access the workshop version here, which the submitter can still edit.
Join us on February 24 and 25, to define the future of the Party at the 19th GENERAL MEETING!
We're building a new kind of politics. One that is open, participatory, and people-powered.
