Concert For The Earth
We are thrilled to be hosting our first Concert for the Earth in Montreal next April. The event is planned as a tribute to Canadian music and will be live-streamed. Our main aim is to support the movement toward legally-binding resolutions on behalf of the biodiversity and methane emissions.
Key agreements targeted include the biodiversity 30x30 pledge, organized in Montreal, which aims to protect 30% of land and 30% of oceans by 2030. In addition, the Global Methane Pledge strives to reduce methane emissions by 30% from 2020 levels by 2030. These agreements are currently voluntary and not being fully followed through on. With others, we are attempting to create momentum for these pledges to become legally-binding. Given that global emissions of greenhouse gases are not falling as quickly as they need to, protecting biodiversity and controlling methane emissions are crucial protections we can offer the environment in the short-term. The world’s leading climate scientists say that this is critical work, as we only have 5 years to attempt to stabilize the Earth’s climate before definite tipping points will be reached.
“Our problems are man-made — therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.”
