Should local governments follow environmental guidelines set by the United Nations?

It is almost impossible to meet the environmental guidelines set by the United Nations by the time it is set, however we should try to meet it regardless.

Yes, and the UN should be abolished

Exceed guild lines to become leader in standards but should sanction top contributors of global pollution

Have local solutions that work for each community whilst following guidelines and increase sanction to top pollution countries.

The country should follow the guidelines but if they stray away from it slightly it isn't biggest deal in the world

yes and no overall they should take into consideration what the un said but locally there are different issues for each state or nation so they should make there own solutions but take account what the un said

If the solutions provided by the UN are applicable to a nation and are beneficial, they should use it as an example.

The UN is made up of member states, and countries with the most power, such as the U.S. or China, often have conflicting interests when it comes to addressing environmental destruction or unsustainable development. Countries heavily invested in many exploitative industries, especially in sectors like mining, oil, fashion, and agriculture, continue to have severe impacts on the environment and people, particularly in Global South nations have economic interests in maintaining the status quo, making it difficult for the UN to take aggressive action. These industries often exploit cheap labor and extract resources without regard for long-term environmental health, while the Global North benefits from these practices.

For Canada’s country size where the least computed country in the world, we shouldn’t have to be the same as what they’re trying to get considering we produce barely anything

The guidelines should be considered, but we should have regional solutions and standards, while also sanctioning countries that are top contributors

Yes but only for big issues that a local town alone can't fix. For smaller issues, let them use their own local guidelines.

increase sanctions on countries that are the top contributors of global pollution instead while also implementing our own sanctions to contribute

I would do our best to go in the direction of those guidelines and simply follow though, maybe over four or five years, and then continue that trajectory onward.

Only if it makes sense based on our society needs and environmental guardianships and also financial support for the people

Yes as a framework but also look at local needs and adopt additional measures, or equivalent alternatives if it makes more sense

No, come up with local solutions that work for each community, and increase sanction on countries that are the top contributors of global pollution instead.

Take it into consideration but every city is different and needs to also figure out whats best for that plot of land.

Every country should strive to follow and exceed environmental guidelines and high pollution countries should receive sanctions

Yes, but the UN is not an organization worth treating as a benchmark for ethical or righteous standards.

No, this only subdues us and makes us only look more controlled to the weak jewish mindsetted and bankerist dogs while their cabinets reeks of dumb communistic idealized pigs who have nothing in common with anyone, total demolition is what we need for the headquarters and such as mass death.

TO a point, we shoudl follow UN guidelines, but we must also consider the financial impact on citizens, so we need to follow our own timeline. The transition to 'clean' likely cannot be reached by any set date without serious damage to our society and country.

No, because not all countries have the same level of pollution nor production nor trees to compensate.
China, for example, is responsible for over 50% of all pollution and won't impose the same restrictions until 2060. We need manufacturing to return here to reduce pollution impacts due to global trades. impacts.

Yes, have it as a guideline for public policy to find solutions that work and accomplish goals of the Paris Agreement.

Have it as a guideline for public policy to find solutions that work and can accomplish goals of the Paris Agreement.

Conform to the larger policies of the UN while finding local solutions to the smaller issues.

Use the guidelines as a stepping stone to build solutions that work for each community

Yes, but adapted to each locations specific requirements.

yes, and increase sanctions on countries that are top contributors of global pollution

Yes, we should follow the goals of the Paris Agreement and take the necessary steps, however we must also look at practical solutions that work for our communities/economy, and work to be the one of the global leaders in environmentalism.

We should work towards following the environmental guidelines set by the United Nations, but we need to focus on what respective communities need so we don't damage the stability of said communities. We should also increase sanction on countries that are top contributors of global pollution.

The UN should be aboloshed and replaced with a democratic dictatorship of the world proletariat.

Yes, but only if it is economically feasible to do so

Depends - we can pick and choose which works best based on locality and provincial needs.

In a perfect work, the UN should help organize a global effort to fight environmental issues. However, this isn't a perfect world

Canada should not support the u.n.

Not be required to but seriously attempt to .

I honestly have no idea

I don't have all the information needed to have an opinion on this matter

If Canada chooses to follow, then let our guidelines be determined by our leaders

It only works if it's actually a binding agreement - it's completely toothless and therefore worthless in its current form

Soy indeferente.

Yes, and increase sanctions on countries that are the top contributors of global pollution.

Yes, as a guideline. However, different countries have different needs. Canada does not cause as much pollution as China for example. Thus, we cannot treat them equally

Something to work towards

Yes but be able to adjust to local needs

Yes, but most local governments do not receive enough funding and more government revenue should be allocated to local governments

No, not until other countries are held to the same standards.

We should use it as a very educated guide line

increase sanctions on countries that are the top contributors NOT based on population, emission is emission, if China were to stop contributing, emissions are reduced by 30%. Using population is a diversion to the real problem which is emission.

Yes, but local solutions that work for each community should be more prominent

Yes, but the United Nations should make China and India more responsible when it comes to Climate Change.

Yes, and exceed the guidelines and be the world leader in environmental standards while increasing sanctions on countries that are the top contributors of global pollution

No use solutions specifically made for the affected are

I think we should do better than the requirements

no, come up with local solutions for each area while also getting rid of or reforming the UN

Yes as long as the guidelines are reasonable

Yes, except I don't want us to be apart of the UN

No, the UN can get bent.

yes and increased sanctions on countries that are the top contributors of global pollution

No, we don't need the UN or their regulations to regulate our country or local regions! Canada is its own sovereign and independent nation!

Yes, and exceed the guidelines. Also the UN should be abolished

We should try to be respectful to the international community, though Canada should also know when to take a stand against international norms.

No, it depends on the elected mayor and there stances on the local environment problem.

Yes, but we must be able to set our own legislation that reflects the UN's policies.

They should take them into consideration but decision makers should not be required to follow them if they don’t agree with them.

if their are good guidelines then yes if not then no

No, because it would be really tricky in a country the size of Canada.

Adhere to a percentage as a target.

No, we should set our own guidelines and become the world leader in environmental protection.

No the best way to deal with climate change is by making our cities more green. By doing so we eliminate the majority of carbon emissions

we should follow the environmental guidelines Canada's indigenous populations would follow

Yes, but listen to our own people and come up with solutions that work for each community while increasing sanction on high polluting countries.

To some extent, but not as a requirement.

Yes , but also be willing to alter them to fit the needs of each community.

dont really know what the guidelines are

Yes, only if the guidelines are good for the environment.

They should, if possible.

Yes, and increase sanctions on countries that are top contributors of global pollution as well.

mix of both

They should be a guideline, but they should figure out solutions that work for each community rather than adhering to one way.

Yes, but they should make up community solutions that work.

Yes, but we have to come up with ways in which it works for us, as every different nation has different factors.

It depends. Sometimes these requirements are inappropriate or not the best alternative.

No. I do not trust the UN. They have done more harm than good.

Yes, but this should be something all governments at every level should do in every economically advanced nation.

yes, however Canada already exceeds the UN environmental guidelines

It's a good guideline, but it's not legally binding. So, instead we should have people take inspiration from it and work to find solutions that work for each nation, province/state and community, town or city.

depending on the circumstances

we should just take care of our own land and what not

It's a good starting point, but I would say that it's important to come up with solutions that work for each community, so that we can protect the environment but also do it in a way that is beneficial to the communities that we live in.

Canada should use guidelines from the United Nations, but draft our own policy.

No, come up with local solutions that work for each community (and the UN should be abolished)

It vareys based on what the guidlines are

The UN is kind of sus

yes, exceed the guidelines, however sanctions should be increased on global pollution contributors such as China

depends on other government guidelines, if other governments have good guidelines then yes, our government should follow those guildlines, if other governments have bad guidelines then no.
