ENDORSE THE YOUTH CLIMATE CORPS CAMPAIGN
Join the growing movement of organizations, cities, First Nations, and unions demanding a Youth Climate Corps for their communities!
We need a mass mobilization of new workers to reduce our emissions and prepare for the climate crisis. A Youth Climate Corps could be exactly what we need, offering a good, green, union job to any young person who wants one.
After over a year of work, the campaign won a commitment to a YCC in the 2024 budget, with the federal government planning consultations starting later this year. We are ready to tell them loud and clear: a Youth Climate Corps only works if it is big, public, and rooted in climate justice. We want you to tell them with us.
Whether you are a union, a city, a First Nation, or a community group, we want to hear what a Youth Climate Corps could mean for your community.
Ready to join the call?
See below for a sample motion of Support for a Youth Climate Corps. If you’ve passed a motion or want to be in touch with a team member from the Climate Emergency Unit first, email juan@climateemergencyunit.ca.
