A letter from a coalition of national organizations to the Prime Minister of Canada expressing support for the Pan-Canadian Framework on Climate Change and Clean Growth and outlining specific recommendations for its implementation.

• The signatories view the Pan-Canadian Framework on Climate Change and Clean Growth as a critical step for Canada's long-term prosperity, noting that the global clean technology market is projected to exceed $2 trillion annually by 2020.
• The coalition emphasizes the necessity of 'just transition measures' to provide support for workers and communities in sectors negatively impacted by the shift to a low carbon economy, aiming to build a broad consensus for emissions reductions.
• The organizations propose several specific implementation priorities, including the integration of Indigenous knowledge systems and the fulfillment of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, specifically the right to free, prior and informed consent.
• The letter calls for a robust federal backstop for carbon pricing to maintain a common standard across provincial systems and suggests using the resulting revenues to protect vulnerable communities.
• The signatories advocate for systemic infrastructure updates, including the modernization of electricity systems to support distributed power generation and the transformation of transportation corridors to reduce emissions and improve public health.
