Big Oil knew for decades about the catastrophic impacts burning fossil fuels would have on our climate and communities. They lied about and downplayed the evidence that their own scientists had handed them. They’ve profited for decades. And they continue to profit at an enormous rate and at the expense of taxpayers. Big Oil should pay their fair share.
Join more than fifteen thousand British Columbians in calling for local governments to make big oil pay their fair share of local climate costs. Clicking “Sign the Declaration” below will take you to the Declaration page on the Sue Big Oil website. Once you’re there you’ll need to scroll down to the bottom to fill in your name.
The District of North Vancouver is on the front lines of climate change, particularly when it comes to costly flooding, landslides, wildfires, and rising sea levels. These changes are putting our health, safety, and the affordability of living in the District of North Vancouver at risk.
Meanwhile, the fossil fuel industry – the leading cause of climate change – continues to profit while communities like ours bear the burden. That’s why eleven other BC municipalities have joined the Sue Big Oil campaign to hold major polluters financially accountable for a fair share of the damages.
Now, the District of North Vancouver has the chance to stand with them. Add your voice and ask Mayor and Council to protect our municipality’s future by supporting this important initiative.
