The document is a letter from a coalition of Canadian organizations supporting the Pan-Canadian Framework on Climate Change and Clean Growth. The authors argue that Canada's long-term prosperity depends on investing in a low-carbon economic transformation to remain competitive in a global clean technology market. They emphasize the necessity of 'just transition measures' to support workers and communities affected by the shift away from high-carbon sectors. The coalition offers specific support for implementing the framework, including prioritizing engagement with Indigenous communities based on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, establishing a robust federal backstop for carbon pricing, and modernizing electricity and transportation systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

• The authors argue that Canada's economic future and long-term prosperity are tied to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and investing in low-carbon energy to compete in a global clean technology market that was expected to exceed $2 trillion per year by 2020.
• The coalition emphasizes that 'just transition measures' are essential to provide support for workers and communities in affected sectors and to build the consensus required to meet emissions reduction targets.
• The signatories advocate for the integration of Indigenous knowledge systems and shared decision-making, specifically calling for the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the right to free, prior and informed consent.
