2023 R20 – Fossil Fuel Corporate Sponsorship of UBCM and AVICC

Whereas the operations of fossil fuel producers have a direct impact on, and significantly contribute to the ongoing climate crisis;

And whereas climate change is creating local effects that are having negative impacts on our infrastructure, buildings, crops, health, and ecosystems increasingly effecting our communities’ stability:

Therefore be it resolved that AVICC and UBCM not solicit/accept support or corporate sponsorship from fossil fuel producers in acknowledgment of the inherent contradiction between fossil fuel sponsorship of local government associations and the role local governments play responding to and combating climate change.
