From CLWR:![]()
Communities around Lake Chad have made incredible progress restoring their ecosystem and fighting back against the devastating impacts of climate change. Thousands of Canadians like you and your congregation have been supporting this work through Friends of Creation, and we're so grateful.![]()
![]()
Your generosity has been incredible and transformative, but now, we need your voice to make sure all this progress isn't lost with the upcoming federal budget.![]()
![]()
Our nature-based solutions project around Lake Chad is one of the global initiatives that's being funded through a climate finance commitment made by the Government of Canada in 2021. Together, these projects are making a massive difference in helping communities around the world cope with the changes that have already happened - and prepare for what's to come.![]()
![]()
The type of work we're doing at Lake Chad works. It's delivering results, reducing climate impacts and contributing to a more stable world.![]()
![]()
But as Canada prepares its next budget, one critical question will steer the government's decision making more than whether it works but: do Canadians care? If they don't think Canadians care, they won't fund it.![]()
![]()
We're not making that up - it's what our contacts in the government have told us directily : "We can only fund what Canadians tell us they want"![]()
![]()
Big banks, multi-national corporations and weapons manufacturers are working to make their piece of the budget grow - at the expense of Canada's commitments to global solidarity, including action on the climate crisis.![]()
![]()
Will you help us make sure the government knows you care?![]()
![]()
We have a simple, online letter-writing tool that you and members of your congregation can use to email your MPs in just three minutes. Use this tool to raise your voice and let them know you do care if Canada is helping address the climate crisis.![]()
