SUMMARY:Facebook Live: Teck Mine and barriers to climate action by CAPP
DESCRIPTION:Webinar: The Proposed Teck Mine, and the Barriers to Climate Action Posed by Canada’s Oil and Gas Lobby\nIn the midst of a climate emergency, the federal government is considering approving the largest oil sands mine ever proposed – a clear indication of the influence Big Oil and its political allies have in Canada. The proposed Teck Frontier mine will violate Indigenous rights and have significant deleterious impacts on wildlife and the environment, including spewing millions of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere every year until 2067. The debate around approving the mine also distracts governments from the conversation Canada desperately needs on economic diversification and the future of jobs.\nTeck is just the latest example of political pressure from the oil and gas sector influencing Canadian governments to make decisions that benefit corporate profit interests at the expense of our health, social services and collective future.\nThis webinar will outline the many ways in which the oil and gas lobby has been a barrier to action on climate change in Canada – even as the science of climate change becomes more dire.\n \nThat includes:\nThe large and rising emissions from oil and gas production in Canada, and the industry’s plans to significantly expand, closing off the possibility of avoiding catastrophic climatic impacts.\nThe incredible lobbying efforts of the industry over the past decade that has killed, delayed, or weakened numerous climate policies in Canada\nThe Teck mine proposal is an opportunity for Canadian governments to change course, take action on carbon emissions, and place responsibility on oil and gas companies for their environmental impacts.\nWho:\nEriel Deranger, Executive Director, Indigenous Climate Action\nDale Marshall, National Climate Program Manager, Environmental Defence\nCatherine Abreu: Executive Director of Climate Action Network Canada\n
