From intense rain, wind and ice storms bringing flooding and power outages, to hotter days and seasons bringing dry summers and ticks, a lot of us are feeling anxious and on edge about climate change in New Brunswick.

We need strong leadership from our provincial government to do everything it can to protect our families’ health and communities’ safety from the effects of climate change and extreme weather we’re already seeing today.

We’ve made it easy for you to speak out. Use our letter-writing tool below to let the Premier know where you stand and what you want. Our pre-written letter will help get you started, but we strongly encourage you to edit it freely and add your own personal story of how climate change has affected you or your family.

Dear Premier Higgs, I am worried about climate change. I am worried about how a changing climate affects my health and the safety of my family and our communities. We see the changes in our own lifetimes. From more intense rain, wind, and ice storms causing floods and power outages, to hotter days and seasons bringing dry summers and ticks, to sea level rise and storm surges tearing up our coasts, extreme weather is putting our communities and families at risk and disturbing life support systems. We all know this is not how it is supposed to be. I am feeling more anxious day-by-day because governments are doing so little to protect us from the effects of extreme weather, or to cut the pollution causing the problem. We need leadership that helps us transition to a clean energy system fit for a climate-friendly world and that invests in the infrastructure and planning changes we need to keep communities and families safe. It is frightening when the scientific community is so clear and united about the realities of climate change, yet so many leaders refuse to act with the urgency a changing climate demands. I was inspired to see hundreds of children and New Brunswickers of all ages gather in front of the Legislature and in towns and villages across our province for global climate action rallies over the past several years. So please, Premier Higgs, take climate change seriously. Take climate solutions seriously. We need to do more. Respectfully,
