Introducing our new National Climate League dashboard. This dashboard showcases all the data the NCL has amassed since 2018 in an easy-to-navigate format.
Use this dashboard to identify top-performing municipalities; compare your municipality to others of similar size or located in the same province; identify temporal trends in a specific indicator category, and more.
Become a data volunteer for the National Climate League: Campus Edition
Sign up before February 29, 2024 to participate in data collection as a student, staff member, or faculty at a post-secondary academic institution — or as a citizen of the world interested in climate action metrics, even if you’re not affiliated with a school. The information collection and resulting findings from the NCLC will create a comprehensive source of data on sustainability performance and climate action initiatives at post-secondary academic institutions across Canada.
new resource: toolkit for rural and remote communities
Rural and remote communities are integral to Canada's economic, cultural, and social fabric. However, these communities face heightened susceptibility to the adverse effects of climate change, including droughts, floods, crop failures, and wildfires. This toolkit aims to support climate advocates and organizers based in rural and remote communities in empowering their friends, families, and neighbours to join together and transform themselves and their communities into climate leaders.

when is now
Climate Action Through Art — Climate Reality Canada is excited to join a global movement demanding ambitious action from the political leaders who are set to convene this November
at the 27th of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in
Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
Combining visual arts and poetry, When Is Now is an impassioned appeal
to imagine a sustainable world and express solidarity with the populations most
vulnerable to climate change. The effects of the climate crisis are already
being felt and art is a powerful tool in the sharing of these stories.
Statement on Canada's low climate ambitions at the 2021 Leaders Summit on Climate
In order to reach its fair share target, Canada needs to reduce GHG emissions by 60% below 2005 levels by 2030. Today's decision to increase our target to 40% is better, but not good enough to reach that goal and ensure an equitable contribution. Our closest peers are setting more ambitious goals than us. The US just announced its plan to cut emissions by 50%-52% from 2005 levels by 2030, and the EU committed to cut theirs by 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. It is unacceptable and inequitable that Canada cannot at least meet the same targets as our peers.
