Ensuring everyone can participate and benefit from climate solutions

In 2024 we supported new work to advance climate mitigation. This included targeted programs and policies addressing energy poverty, advocating for funding for public transit, advancing energy retrofits for rental buildings and supporting youth leadership in climate projects. We also continued to address Canadian financial institutions’ overexposure to fossil fuel assets, and funded organizations that bring transparency to lobbying by Canada’s oil and gas industry and other industries on climate and sustainable finance policies.
