In October 2021, our team travelled to Lytton and the surrounding areas of Kamloops and Shackan, British Columbia, to hear directly from those who have been impacted by the catastrophic extreme weather events fuelled by climate change over the summer.
Shortly after B.C. 's record-breaking heatwave that hit a scorching 49.6ºC, Lytton and the surrounding areas experienced uncontrollable, fast-moving wildfires. Families were separated, homes and businesses were burned to the ground and lives were lost.
Despite the devastation and hardship, fire survivors are speaking out. They want those funding fossil fuels to hear their message - their communities are still here, and they want governing and financial institutions to put their money where their mouth is: End fossil fuel financing, keep it in the ground!
Please amplify their voices online by sharing the videos, and by taking action to end fossil fuel financing!
