Tell Carney: phase out thermal coal exports! 📣 Sign our petition below ✍️

Canada needs to power past coal. Tell Carney: phase out thermal coal exports!

The Liberal government committed to phasing out thermal coal exports by 2030. Instead, the Port of Vancouver has doubled its thermal coal exports since 2015. Now this port is the premier coal exporter...

Instead, British Columbia’s Lower Mainland residents bear the brunt of environmental and health risks. 😵‍💫 It's time Canada powers past coal. Join us on this new campaign on an old problem.

...doubling its thermal coal exports since 2016. 🫨 To add insult to injury, almost 75% of the thermal coal exported from the Port of Vancouver comes from the U.S. Why? Because West Coast U.S. ports won’t take them. 🫠

Gastown? More like Coaltown! Thermal coal has devastating impacts on Canada and the world. The Canadian Liberal government committed to phasing out thermal coal exports by 2030. Instead, the Port of Vancouver is the premier coal exporter in North America... 🧵 #GreenSky #Canada

The launch of @stand.earth coal campaign is here! It's been a joy to meet and learn from some of the community leaders who have been organizing around coal for over two decades. I'm excited to keep learning in community as we push for a coal-free future! Petition: act.stand.earth/page/100544/...

Find links to read more about the impact to lower mainland communities and sign @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social's petition to phase out thermal coal exports here:

Did you know that the Port of Vancouver has more than doubled its thermal coal exports over the past decade, despite the fed govt's commitment to phasing it out? In the lead up to our coal campaign launch, here's a piece on how Trump's coal investment could impact BC's lower mainland communities.

For everyone's sake, Canada needs to power past coal. 75% of the coal being exported out of Vancouver is U.S. produced, since U.S. west coast ports can't handle the volume. 🧵 #GreenSky

So excited to be at the Climate Block Party at Granville Park, repping @stand.earth ✨💚 If you’re in Vancouver, stop by! We’re around until 4pm

You can check out what folks have already commented here: engage.eao.gov.bc.ca/TilburyExpan... And use Stand's toolkit (stnd.ly/TilburyToolkit) to submit your own comment (we do our best to make it as easy as possible) Have a good night everyone!

For the first time on record, solar generated more electricity than coal across the entire U.S. - despite active federal policy pushing the other direction. Read more at the link below!

What is the largest source of electricity in each country? Coal generates one-third of the world’s electricity, more than any other source. But zoom into the country level, and the picture is much more varied.

🏭 🌍 The geographic footprint of #coal dev't is narrowing sharply. Only 32 countries were proposing or building new plants in '25 — less than 1/2 the 75 countries doing so in '14 A 🧵 on key findings from GEM’s 11th annual Boom & Bust Coal report, out today 👇 globalenergymonitor.org/research/boo...

Today the Canadian Minister of Gas announces a deal for yet to built Ksi Lisims LNG to supply Germany with a mere 8.5% of the terminal's output. Justification: Help Europe secure its energy needs. Truth: It's a sham and desperate bid for a delayed overbudget project. 🧵 stand.earth/press-releas...

🚨🚨BREAKING: Texas community leaders are in Tokyo to file a first-of-a-kind series of coordinated complaints against the Japanese financial institutions that backed Freeport LNG, a dangerous, polluting liquified natural gas (LNG) project near their homes 🚨🚨

Yesterday, Ken Sim & his party voted to bring methane gas back into buildings & pause emissions reporting. 😡 The people of Vancouver want a cleaner, affordable future & that means not caving to the fossil fuel industry. 🏗️ Yesterday’s vote was a setback, but we’re not giving up. Stay tuned ✊

Despite this clear evidence, Ken Sim continues to bow to private gas companies instead of listening to the people of Vancouver who overwhelmingly rejected this same rollback back in 2024. Your move, Vancouver City Council. Will you listen to the people of Vancouver, or bow to gas lobbyists?

Gas burned in buildings is responsible for close to 60% of Vancouver’s climate pollution. Using electric heat pumps leads to 16 times less pollution, is far more efficient, and also often more affordable.

Mayor Ken Sim is once again trying to roll back one of Vancouver’s flagship climate policies and get polluting methane gas back into buildings. Today, Vancouver residents made their demands clear: they want fossil fuel lobbyists ❌ OUT ❌ of city hall. 🧵 #GreenSky

Biodiversity is not a luxury: Unpacking wealth and power to accommodate the complexity of urban biodiversity

A positive correlation between wealth and biodiversity within cities is a commonly documented phenomenon in urban ecology that has come to be labeled as the “luxury effect.” We contend that both this...

It’s time to end the free ride for American coal, and hold Canadian decision-makers to their long-overdue promise to scrap this dirty, outdated fuel once and for all. Tell the federal government to follow through, and finish the job they started. >> bit.ly/4nqqkT7

Join us and @stand.earth in demanding that Prime Minister Carney phase-out thermal coal exports and work with Canada’s ports to promote more sustainable, economy-boosting exports.  TAKE ACTION >> bit.ly/4nqqkT7
