CAPE reacts to the IPCC 6th Assessment Report

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) responds to the IPCC 6th Assessment Report, emphasizing the urgent need to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and end reliance on fossil fuels to protect public health.

• The IPCC 6th Assessment Report, based on a review of over 14,000 publications, indicates that 1 degree of warming has already resulted in substantial and severe impacts on health, wellbeing, and communities.
• CAPE asserts that while the technical and policy expertise to transition from fossil fuels is available, there is a lack of political leadership to implement the necessary bold changes immediately to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
• CAPE calls on Canadian political leaders, particularly in the context of a likely federal election, to provide a clear plan for mitigation and adaptation to ensure a healthy future.
