Thank you for the privilege of speaking with you today.
My name is Cathy Orlando. I work as the director of programs at Citizens' Climate International and am a director of Citizens' Climate Lobby Canada.
I live in Sudbury, Ontario. I've been concerned about the climate crisis my whole adult life. My father-in-law was Dr. Sukhdev P. Mathur. He was an IPCC scientist for the first report in 1990.
I support volunteers in over 100 ridings in Canada and over 50 countries around the world in their noble efforts to bring evidence-based climate solutions to their governments and fellow citizens.
Caterina is one of them.
Please go ahead, Caterina.
