About

Elbows Up for Climate is a campaign from local elected leaders who believe in the importance of investing in climate-forward national projects that will protect our country from the dual threats of tariffs and climate change. More than 270 mayors, councillors and local elected leaders from coast-to-coast-to-coast are part of this growing movement, representing more than half of all Canadians.

We work together to advocate for federal policies that keep our community prosperous and safe.

We know first hand the importance of supporting a Made in Canada economy that supports safe and prosperous communities. We are on the front lines of the growing risks to this safety and prosperity as climate-caused disasters threaten, harm, and even destroy the places we live. In summer 2025, hundreds of communities experienced the effects of climate impacts; a majority of Canadians are worried about climate impacts; and direct losses from extreme weather events in Canada totaled $8.5 billion in 2024.

Our campaign speaks to Canadians’ priorities: two-thirds of Canadians favour developing clean energy over fossil fuels, while 85% wish to maintain or increase federal climate action.
