What do proportional representation and citizens’ assemblies have to do with climate change?

In this webinar hosted by Fair Vote Toronto, Seth Klein will discuss:

• the political obstacles that have undermined concerted climate action since scientists first warned of the climate crisis close to 40 years ago

• what lessons we can learn from what Canada achieved during the Second World War, when our country faced a different kind of existential threat

• and what role proportional representation and citizens’ assemblies can play in producing climate solutions
