Charter of Climate Change Rights and Responsibility:


CACOR is pleased to post our Charter of Climate Change Rights and Responsibility that we would like to see enacted into legislation in all jurisdictions. Please help by urging municipal counsellors and MPs and MLAs to support this initiative. We believe the Charter is self-explanatory but the ideas embedded within the Charter are drawn from insights CACOR drew from the Pathways Project (see postings on the website as well).

Similarly, we have launched the call for the adoption of this Charter with a set of 7 initial companion recommendations also drawn from Pathways insights except for the biological ones. Please note we intend to advocate for further recommendations as seem useful. Your ideas for future recommendations are welcome. But for now, there is much to do to ask your friends and organizations and networks you know to post this Charter everywhere so more Canadians become familiar with it. If adopted, it would provide a framework to prevent future governments from inaction. Please consider both documents carefully.

Delivering the Human Future Conference - Final Report

Humanity faces an existential emergency comprising many interlinked catastrophic risks which are now arriving together. Their collective scale is so great that few grasp it. Together, these risks endanger our ability to maintain a civilization, possibly even to persist as a species. The basic cause is the sheer scale of the human enterprise: overpopulation, overconsumption, inequality, poor choice of technologies …

How next-gen satellites are transforming our view of climate change

A shrinking swath of coastline in Washington state has a regrettable nickname: Washaway Beach. It's named not for what's there, but rather for what isn't. Insatiable Pacific Ocean currents have taken greedy bites out of the land over the past century. Washaway Beach's disappearing shore isn't measured in centimetres or inches. You can't track the changes with a hardware store …

Sustainable Development--A Mirage and a Dangerous Trap—From CACOR Archives

CACOR Writers Quill Pens
CR (Buzz) Nixon labelled "sustainable development" an oxymoron.  He felt the primary need was for a sustainable ecosphere, and that time and effort would be lost chasing an undefinable will-o-the-wisp "sustainable development." He outlined some main factors in the human predicament: denial, fear, desire, biological programming, and reliance on faith (in mankind, in technological progress, in free markets, and in …
