Okanagan Climate Hub

Sue Big Oil Webinar with Andrew Gage

The Okanagan has seen its share of fossil-fueled climate impacts, from wildfires to flooding to heat waves. With local governments needing to build and upgrade infrastructure to keep us safe from climate change, and with growing costs from disasters, how will we pay for the costs of climate change? We are hosting an on-line discussion on the #SueBigOil campaign, which calls on our local governments to work together to bring a class action lawsuit against global fossil fuel companies for a share of the costs of climate change. Andrew Gage, a lawyer with West Coast Environmental Law, will explain how this campaign aims to help keep us safe from climate change by holding fossil fuel industry responsible for its role in causing the climate crisis.
