Nature Canada has joined Canada’s other leading environmental groups to launch a major national campaign to stand up for nature and democracy.

The complete conversation of the first in the Meeting the Climate Change Challenge (MC³) is now available from the conversation's webpage.

A new case study on Pacific Carbon Trust (PCT) has been released.  PCT is an innovative policy instrument developed by the British Columbia government to address climate change. This hybrid instrument blends a market mechanism with public investment and regulation as part of the government’s commitment to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The model is designed to help establish a local carbon offset market as part of a larger framework that regulates carbon neutrality in the public sector to reduce GHG emissions while influencing cultural norms and behaviour.

ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives) Canada is very pleased to announce the launch of Having the Climate Conversation: Strategies for Local Governments, a resource to assist municipal staff with the task of communicating the complex issue of climate change to residents, stakeholders, elected officials, and fellow staff members.

Two new videos have been released on CRC HEADTalks featuring the keynote presentations of Dr. Robert Constanza and Stephen Huddart delivered at our March workshop, Degrowth: A Critical Juncture?.
