To CACOR Members:


We have two (2) speakers in our Zoom series that need a CACOR sponsor and Master of Ceremonies. We seek someone who has not done this in the past and is willing to become involved. Contact Art at your earliest convenience. We can help you get involved.

We have nine CACOR Zoom series speakers in our pending bucket who will be contacted soon and assigned a time slot. The quality of the speakers remains "outstanding".

Our Links with other networks continues to expand. There will be many more "guests" than we have had in the past.

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.

We would like to bring to your attention the legacy YouTube video on the Club of Rome Origin

Second, instead of passively accepting a dystopian image of what will come tomorrow, we need to actively create together from our diverse perspectives a shared story of a positive future—including a …

The slideshow that convinced Boris Johnson about global warming

A scientific briefing that UK prime minister Boris Johnson says changed his mind about global warming has been made public for the first time, following a freedom-of-information (FOI) request by Carbon Brief. Last year, on the eve of the UK hosting COP26 in Glasgow, Johnson described tackling climate change as the country’s “number one international priority”. He also published a net-zero strategy and told …
