Letter from Glasgow: Crunch Time (COP26)
Elizabeth May – November 10, 2021
“The bones of a strong commitment are there, but so too is a regurgitation of “blah, blah, blah.”
This COP could still avoid failure, while inevitably falling short of what is needed. And there remains an outside chance of actual success.
Green Party parliamentarians gather at every COP for a “Green Family Breakfast.” It is always on the Wednesday of the second week. The schedule is well-chosen. It is the unofficial launch of crunch time.”

Global Day for Climate Justice – Victoria
Centennial Square
Event by Climate Justice Victoria
Justice won’t be handed to us by world leaders or delivered by corporations. Wherever you are in the world, now is the time to join the fight for climate justice.We got to this crisis point because our political and economic system is built on inequality and injustice. For centuries, rich governments and corporations have been exploiting people and the planet for profit, no matter how much it harms the rest of us.
Like the climate crisis, our economic and political system is human-made. This also means it can be remade. Climate justice recognizes that all of our struggles lead back to the same unjust system. Whether we are fighting for better pay at work, for clean water, or against police violence or the opening of a new mine. For control over our bodies or to stop the destruction of forests we live in. We need climate action that works for all of us, not just the people with the most money in their pocket. The solutions that we need already exist and are being practiced, but our leaders lack the political will to act.
World leaders and experts will meet in Glasgow in November at the global climate talks, COP26. Global problems need global solutions. The decisions made at COP26 will shape how governments respond (or not) to the climate crisis. They will decide who is to be sacrificed, who will escape and who will make a profit. So far, governments have done too little too late: colluding with corporations and hiding behind green washed ‘solutions’ that actually don’t exist yet, that don’t address the scale of the problem, and in many cases rely on more exploitation of people and the planet.
Justice won’t be handed to us by world leaders or delivered by corporations. The transformative solutions that we need to survive and build a more just and fair world can only be brought about through collective action, solidarity and coordination, from our local communities and international levels.
This event and host organizations are located on Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ lands. We look to and work with the Indigenous communities leading the climate justice movement on the front lines for guidance and leadership.

Global Climate Strike! Noon Sept 24th
? WE’RE STRIKING ONCE AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 24! ?
This September 24, we’re calling climate justice in the face of the climate crisis and all other crises affecting our world.
The climate crisis does not exist in a vacuum; the various other crises systematically affecting billions of people in the world amplify and are amplified by climate change. As we continue the call for climate justice, our fight must center the struggles of the most affected peoples and areas in our local communities and around the world, to ensure that no one is left behind and we BUILD BACK BETTER!
Join Our Earth Our Future on the lawn of the legislature at noon on September 24th to make sure we are heard loud and clear: we need a system change, not climate change! Please bring and wear a mask.
