Mondial Fall 2021: WFM Toronto Branch News

The Toronto Branch has hosted a series of online discussions about better global governance.

In May, Green Party of Canada Parliamentary Leader Elizabeth May spoke on the topic of “A Global Climate Accountability Act: What would it look like?” She reviewed the negotiating history that led to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the subsequent Paris Agreement of 2015. These were contrasted with the more binding international treaty frameworks, including the Ozone Treaty and its Montreal Protocol, designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of substances that are responsible for ozone depletion.

More than 90 people attended and a discussion of world federalism followed, as many in attendance were new to the organization.
