Your courage as a warrior

Be an example and resonate

 

Warrior loneliness for a planet

Exhausted from her humanity virus

 

Last call before the requiem

The one who will sing about our extinction

 

My dreams are burning

My future echoes

It is cemetery

 

I walk among the carcasses

Sea elves

Troubadour dolphins

Courteous Belugas

I lie down next to them

 

I deliver them from me

Ambition Ambition Ambition ! This leitmotif animates COP-26. It's no secret, keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels and guarding against the dangerous effects of climate change requires increased ambition on all key aspects. of the climate agenda.  

 

Join our climate ambition breakfast!  Get the tools to better understand climate change, understand what is meant by ambition and understand the role that Quebec can play at the heart of its negotiations. 

It will also be an opportunity to question the issues of justice and solidarity that this COP poses. The current circumstances: inequitable access to vaccines and exorbitant costs of participation mean that those facing the most disproportionate impacts of the climate crisis will not be well represented at the negotiating table. Questioning the credibility of the process .

Main author of the latest IPCC report

Last August, a report on the scientific elements of climate change was published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The conclusions drawn there cannot be clearer: unless there are immediate, rapid and massive reductions in GHG emissions, limiting warming to 1.5 ° C or below 2 ° C will no longer be possible. And that would result in the failure of the primary objective of the Paris Agreement.  

 

So, to better understand the main lines and the main findings of the latest IPCC report and its impact on the negotiations, but also the role of this world reference organization on climate change, come and listen to our experts on the subject!

CoPs are often criticized and their usefulness questioned, not without reason. After 25 years of great meetings, thousands of hours of negotiations and results that still seem too unambitious, it is legitimate to question the usefulness of COPs. But the fact remains that behind this COP-26 lies an essential truth, governments can no longer pretend and must show ambition.  

 

So if you too are wondering what the CoPs are for and how the negotiations in Glasgow will be different join this breakfast.

As COP-26 nears, more than 400 international health organizations and professionals, representing two-thirds of the world's health workers, signed an open letter calling on policymakers to consider the benefits of l climate action for health.  

 

Yet while the effects of climate change on the health of individuals, but also on our entire health system are already being felt, most climate decision-making processes fail to consider the health benefits. There is no miracle cure for this problem, but achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement is already a good start. Solutions are available to us, come and discuss them and make health a game of climate ambition.

The Canadian Carbon Neutral Accountability Act,  (LCRMC), explicitly mentions the Paris Agreement and Canada's international commitments on climate change. There is no doubt that the race for carbon neutrality has already started and Canada, with its LCRMC, has given itself a roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. But nothing prevents it from reaching it sooner!  

 

Let's discuss the future of this law, its implementation given the urgency to act! But also of the role that we can play in its full application for the good of present and future generations.

No country can solve the climate crisis on its own, which is why we need to achieve unprecedented levels of international collaboration. And, it's hard to imagine implementing such a collaboration without everyone contributing their fair share to the global effort.

This principle of fair share does not apply only to countries, but can extend to entities such as provinces, cities, or even individuals. So in this context, it is legitimate to ask: "What is Quebec's fair share in the global fight against climate change and how can it implement it?" "

Join this conversation to learn more about Quebec's fair share and the means at our disposal to implement it.

Report published by the Climate Action Network Canada aiming to assess Quebec's fair share in the global response to the issue of climate change, starting by recognizing that equity is a principle  important - necessary - to respond to climate change

WED 3 NOV

10:00 am-11:30am  Climate change: the mad rush of biodiversity decline

“Climate change and biodiversity loss are two of the most pressing issues of the Anthropocene,” says the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) in its report released last summer. The figures presented there are alarming: about half of the area of coral reefs and more than 85% of the global area of wetlands have disappeared as of today. Under the most pessimistic scenarios, rapid climate change could wipe out up to 90% of all species. It is no longer time to sound the alarm, but to act.  

 

To learn about the main impacts of climate change on biodiversity and the existing synergies between climate and ecosystems, but also to understand how international commitments such as the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity lay the foundations for governance for the climate and the preservation of biodiversity, come and join us on this panel!

In 2009, rich countries agreed to increase climate finance for the poorest countries to reach 100 billion dollars per year by 2020. At the Paris climate summit in 2015 (COP21), this objective was extended until 'in 2025. 
But beyond a monetary commitment from rich countries, what does this funding represent? Why are the public funds of Quebeckers being used in the fight against climate change? Concretely, how is it deployed in the countries?

The challenge of climate change is also that of decarbonization, the process by which fossil fuels represent a less and less important part of energy consumption with the long-term objective of zero consumption of this type of energy. .  

Citizen engagement for decarbonization and a just transition has never been so important, so let's discuss this inevitable exit from hydrocarbons and the levers of action at our disposal to ultimately enhance climate ambition.

The International Energy Agency in its annual report published two weeks before COP-26, recalls that if we do not invest more heavily and quickly in clean energy, the world will suffer the consequences  a global warming of more than 1.5 degrees: “batteries, hydrogen, electric vehicles… All these sectors are opposed by the resistance of the status quo and fossil fuels”.  

 

But when it comes to clean energy, what types of energy are we really talking about and what kind of transition are we talking about? Join this round table to equip yourself and understand the challenges of a transition to clean energies.

Carbon pricing mechanisms are probably at the heart of the measures that Canada will take to achieve its greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets by 2030, with a view to becoming carbon neutral by 2050. Québec is not not left out and also uses this type of measure to achieve its own targets. It is even a cost effective way to reduce emissions. 

The only problem is that carbon pricing only works if the mechanisms are well designed. So where are we, what are the challenges of the Canadian and Quebec approaches?

Post-secondary education is a time when there are many opportunities to get involved, to experience community life within organizations, or to sharpen one's sense of activism! These opportunities help empower students in their current and future mobilization for a just ecological transition.

Different groups or institutions also aim to support students in their ambitions to change things. What are these spaces of empowerment and mobilization that emerge during college and university studies? And how could these be further promoted and supported?

 

Join this dialogue that will immerse us in this pivotal and highly inspiring moment in life that is post-secondary education!

Who are the populations most affected by the climate crisis and how? What tools do we have to restore balance? What is the place of citizen power in this battle?
