I started my Embodied Climate Justice Fitness (ECJF) Challenge #ECJFChallenge and Earth Walk 2021 #EarthWalk to coincide with the launch of the Council of Canadians' Climate Code Red week of action #ClimateCodeRed. Canadians, like myself, can sign an online petition or collect signatures for a Parliamentary Petition to demand Just Transition Legislation #JustTransition. A just transition to a decarbonized economy should be guided by affected workers and their communities, particularly indigenous peoples in those communities, as well as the larger Indigenous community as a whole. The petition includes the demand that the just transition legislation "reduces emissions by at least 60 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, and makes significant contributions to emissions reductions in countries in the Global South" so that Canada is doing its fair share globally.

Like other Earth Walk 2021 walkers here, I am raising awareness about the global climate crisis:

Floods. Fires. Storms. Droughts. Rising global temperatures are wreaking havoc on the lives of the people least responsible for the climate crisis. And they are getting worse. But the wealthiest countries - those most responsible for polluting the planet – are dragging their feet. Their leaders aren’t taking enough action to cut their emissions, or delivering the funding needed to protect communities dealing with the climate emergency.

ActionAid’s EarthWalk means people everywhere can step up, so that politicians hear the calls of those already on the front lines of the climate crisis. I have joined the Earth Walk. Will you?
