As Nobel prize winners, we demand Justin Trudeau stop the Teck Frontier mine | Nobel prize winners

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Freeland,

The year 2020 has already become one defined by devastating impacts of climate change. While we celebrated the ambition of countries - including Canada - that demanded the enshrinement of 1.5C in the Paris climate agreement, it is increasingly clear that even this is a compromise with deeply tragic implications for the world's climate-vulnerable regions.
