Planet Haliburton and Climate Action Muskoka

“On this PH episode we explore local climate change planning activism with two representatives of Climate Action Muskoka (CAM), Linda Mathers and Tamsen Tillson, who explain their efforts to build build wide-spread community support for a climate emergency declaration in the District of Muskoka. In the face of the complete failure of national governments over the past 30 years to slowdown, let alone reverse ever-increasing GHG concentration in the atmosphere, many activists have redoubled their efforts to encourage municipal climate emergency declarations and the development of local climate action action plans. Canada is home to a disproportionately large number of those local climate emergency declarations - some 500 or so already having been issued, including the City of Peterborough, with the District of Muskoka scheduled to debate taking that action in October.” This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm
