Coalition calls on federal government to phase out fossil fuels – May 12, 2025

May 12, 2025 at 10:54 am  Federal, Politics, Video



At a news conference in Ottawa, a coalition of representatives from various churches and non-profit organizations call on the federal government to sign on to and implement the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Under the treaty, Canada would have an obligation to stop new fossil fuel projects and wind down the existing production of fossil fuels.

Speakers include Étienne Eason, main organizer of ‘The Pilgrimage for the Planet’, a 200-kilometre cycling pilgrimage from Montreal to Ottawa in support of the treaty. Also speaking are Beth Lorimer (Ecological Justice Program Coordinator, KAIROS Canada), Paul Gehrs (assistant to the Bishop, Justice and Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations, Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada), Agnes Richard (Canada chapter animator, Laudato Si Movement), and Angela Keller-Herzog (founding executive director, CAFES Ottawa).
