Canada

September 30, 2025, marks the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation in Canada and 10 years since the Liberal government promised to implement the Truth & Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action. A decade later, only 15 have been completed—a reality the Yellowhead Institute describes as a “decade of disappointment.”

It is also 10 years since Canada entered the Paris Agreement, pledging to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. That target is now out of reach as Canada continues to expand fossil fuel production.

It’s a pattern that has become all too familiar in Canada: rhetorical commitment to Indigenous rights and climate action while doubling down on resource extraction and the continued violation of Indigenous sovereignty.
