Climate change is one of the most pressing and urgent challenges of our time. It is reshaping our environments, changing our ecosystems, and transforming our communities. Rising temperatures, stronger storms, longer droughts, and more intense wildfires are some of the dangers that lie in store because of climate change. Responding to this crisis means rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to better sources of energy.  

Coming together in unity and solidarity doesn’t necessarily mean that we’ll agree on everything all the time, but, if we can embrace respectful dialogue on the decisions that matter to all Nova Scotians, I have no doubt that our collective courage, goodwill, and resilience will shine through.
