This will a very interesting and important discussion!
If global markets are moving away from fossil fuel consumption, where does that leave the NL oil & gas industry? Can we (& should we) continue to rely on it? Join Max Ruelokke & @AngelaVCarter as we discuss these & other issues in Oct 5 ForecastNL session: events.constantcontact.com/r…
We just signed an open letter asking federal candidates to prioritize a just transition for NL. Now is the time to invest our resources to contribute to climate safety, rather than climate crisis!

The People's Recovery report was released earlier this week and has been getting lots of attention so far. It's so refreshing to be part of a broad coalition of groups calling for positive and real change!
Today we're releasing a report outlining options for an equitable, people & community-centred economic recovery. The report was developed over 5 months with input from more than 60 academics, community organizers, activists & organizations #NLPoli bit.ly/3hBbkCi

Thanks to @AngelaVCarter for weighing in on the Greene Report. The science is clear: we can't keep investing in oil exploration & development if we are serious about tackling the climate crisis. We would love to see a real transition plan towards a low carbon economy.
