Here's a helpful link that can help you reach a decision on this question.
That CAPE recognize the impacts of climate change and the need to take action to mitigate impacts through government operations.
Whereas the international scientific community recognizes the risk posed by climate change for many citizens around the world;
Whereas climate change will have important consequences for many human beings;
Whereas significant measures must be implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to help people adapt to climate change;
Whereas the negation of the problem or lack of initiative is not in the interest of CAPE members, nor in the interests of workers in general;
Be it resolved that CAPE will advocate a clear and strong position in recognizing climate change by encouraging initiatives to address climate change and the implementation of climate change adaptation measures in its relations with government bodies, employers and in the various forums when the subject will be raised.
