Please read all the way to the end and review the 'consumptive interventions' planned in the c40 cities. You can search your country and city on the first data base/ website link. Learn about what a c40 city is. These organizations seem to link together. (The Most Important link at the below, is also downloaded as an attachment for your thorough consideration.) https://www.globalcovenantofmayors.org/our-cities/

Every single city that is involved in this initiative the entire planet is listed. Do you know which Canadian cities are involved? Mississauga is. Toronto is. North Bay is. Edmonton is and a host of others. But do you know they have a target about how much meat you should eat in C40 Cities? (hint by 2030 NONE. Go through the tables in the link and attachment for yourself)

How many new clothes you can buy? hint: 3 a year is the aggressive target.

Each link is searchable. Read to the end. Consider closely the consumption mitigation or intervention strategies. Personal Auto ownership? Y Vins governed. Your food? decided.

Even the search terms are spooky; "our mayors" or "our cities"

GLOBAL COVENANT OF MAYORS FOR CLIMATE AND ENERGY

search your city. Find out if its there. Notice anything about the cities missing. By the time you read and consider all of this, those are the cities you'll want to move to.

Has anyone heard of this? shouldn't we understand how they want to regulate the 'goods and services' consumed in their cities as it relates to climate change? This is also known as consumption mitigation and intervention strategies and involves food you eat/ energy/ clothes you're allowed to purchase.

(explore c40 website, you'll see what initiatives, which companies support this) As an aside how would the Strong Mayors Act recently passed fit in with this?

search your city. Find out if it's there. But move to C40 the more aggressive brand to truly see what a C40 city is.

The commitment of our 97 cities representing 700 million residents to the Leadership Standards demonstrates the resolve of the world’s mayors to deliver the urgent action needed to tackle the climate crisis. In this unprecedented moment in human history, we know that we must act without hesitation to save our planet and create a more equitable, prosperous, and healthy future for our children and grandchildren.

In the crucial years ahead, these Leadership Standards set us on a path to achieve a zero-carbon future, build meaningful and broad coalitions, and set a global model for cities around the world to follow suit. This work is grounded in the principles of the Global Green New Deal as the cornerstone of a green and just recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the foundation of global efforts to address the climate emergency.

C40 Leadership Standards 2021-2024:

Plan. City has adopted a resilient and inclusive climate action plan aligned with the 1.5˚C ambition of the Paris Agreement, and updates it regularly;

Deliver. In 2024, city remains on track to deliver its climate action plan, contributing to increased resilience, equitable outcomes and halving C40’s overall emissions by 2030;

Mainstream. City uses the necessary financial, regulatory and other tools at their disposal to address the climate crisis and mainstreams their equitable climate targets into the most impactful city decision-making processes;

Innovate. City innovates and starts taking inclusive and resilient action to address emissions beyond the direct control of the city government, such as associated with goods and services consumed in their city;

Lead. Mayor and the city demonstrate global climate leadership and inspire others to act in support of the Paris Agreement.

These Leadership Standards will guide our collective action until at least 2024."

now take a look at this pdf: did you know that c40 wants you to have 3 new articles of clothing; look at the life of the car; how much meat by 2030 you can eat in a C40 city (0kg on the aggressive target- you've got to dig in and understand this is an agenda that has you on a leash. But who are the people that think you under their thumb to the point of food/car/flight/clothing consumption.. is theirs to control. Does it remind you of anything at all. What does it make you think of when you review this. Fedex likes and supports this. You can search which companies are involved in supporting this. Decide if they deserve your business. Is Post Media covering this?

Look at the tables for 'consumptive interventions'; Table 6 for instance tells you that these c40 cities believe they can dictate how many flights you should be able to have by 2030; Table 6.6.1? how many people can own vehicles; There's a table for how many kg of meat you can eat in these c40 cities. Aggressive target? 0kg. 2030 is 7 years away. Do you have a kid? a grand kid? should they taste burgers? or no. It's their mitt year this year? or will you get them underwear.
