The Young Liberals of Canada endorse Youth Climate Corps in its policy pledge
The Young Liberals of Canada (YLC) – the national youth wing of the Liberal Party of Canada – has included a Youth Climate Corps in its policy pledge.
We are happy to see the Young Liberals of Canada fighting to advance the Youth Climate Corps in the Liberal leadership race. A large-scale and national green jobs program like a YCC is needed now more than ever, at a time when youth face the highest rates of unemployment while the climate crisis rages on.
This policy pledge represents a forward-thinking approach to simultaneously tackle economic precarity and the urgent need for strong and audacious climate policy, empowering the next generation to be active participants in Canada's green transition.
