The Campaign for a Youth Climate Corps
@LillyHerself Of all the things we must stop doing, assembling and deploying a #YouthClimateCorps is not one of them. We need to be ACTIVE in adapting and mitigating ##climate change, which is what a climate corps is all about
NDP MP Laurel Collins has tabled a plan in the HoC to establish a Youth Climate Corps that would provide training/ employment for young adults aged 17 to 35 to strengthen community & environmental resilience to climate change and disaster response, conservation & emissions reduction.

“Young people want to get involved. They want to fight the climate crisis first-hand, and they deserve training and good jobs in the process, which is what New Democrats want to see happen,” said Laurel Collins, NDP environment critic, at a news conference in Ottawa announcing support for the youth corps concept.

The announcement follows new polling, which indicated that approximately 1.3 million young people across Canada would consider enrolling in a youth climate corps if the government were to allocate funds for this program. #YouthClimateCorps #ClimateAction https://www.nationalobserver.com/2023/12/05/news/ndp-tables-motion-create-climate-fighting-youth-corps

We can be certain that if Alberta's recent election is any indication, our youth will ABSOLUTELY be left behind in the #GlobalEnergyTransition. Small wonder so many have left/are leaving for places promising greater opportunity for the future.
