Proposal
Recognizing that a Green economy holds tremendous potential for economic recovery consistent with the remaining global carbon budget, so as to avoid warming beyond 1.5°C, be it resolved that the Green Party supports a recovery plan focused on investments in sectors which accelerate progress toward a net-zero economy.
Objective
That government investments to repair the economic and social damage caused by the pandemic be directed towards sectors and activities capable of supporting and accelerating Canada’s transition to a net-zero green economy.
Benefit
A Green Recovery offers the chance for Canada to be a global leader in GHG emission reduction while building a strong economy that permits us to tackle the climate emergency, live within our planet’s finite resource, create the jobs of the future, and ensure a just society.
