Nate has been a vocal advocate for stronger action on climate change.
He successfully called for a climate emergency debate in Parliament after the most recent IPCC report.
He’s written articles about climate change and plastic pollution, and he’s raised the need for more action directly with Environment Minister McKenna, Finance Minister Morneau, and the Prime Minister and his close advisors.
Recently, Nate introduced a bill to make Canada carbon neutral by 2050, consistent with our Paris Agreement commitments.
Locally, Nate has held a number of public events focused on both climate change and plastic pollution, including free movies and discussions with experts at the Fox Theatre.
