The climate crisis illustrates how deeply intertwined social, economic and environmental ecosystems are as determinants of planetary health, from the molecular to global scale. The exponential rise in worldwide climate action, advocacy and co-operation attest to the fact that decarbonization is not simply the next investment frontier, it is the lifeline of our children and future generations. Founded on the principle that we are One Nature, the David Suzuki Foundation is a cultural and intellectual force that can build critical momentum throughout Canada to ensure that protection of nature’s rights and the public’s rights to nature lie at the heart of our transformed economies.
