If you aren't convinced about the need for urgent and meaningful #climate action, watch this video now.🤯theguardian.com/environment/vi… #cdnpoli #ClimateJusticeNow

According to the new IPCC report, the carbon budget that gives us the best odds of staying below 1,5°C runs out in less than 5 and a half years at our current emissions rate. Maybe someone should ask the people in power how they plan to “solve” that?

If you are concerned about climate action, please be concerned about a city that decides 80% of its land should be used for housing that is inaccessible to 80% of people and fight like hell for more density in all our neighbourhoods. #ClimateAction
