Full house at Trinity College for the Toronto launch of #RunLikeAGirl 🏃‍♀️‍➡️ Thanks to Joannah Lawson & U of T for our candid conversation, and to the alumni, students, colleagues, friends & Toronto community who came out to the launch!

So sad 💔. Jane Goodall was an inspiration. She never stopped … www.bbc.com/news/live/c9...

Thanks to the Canadian International Council & Cassie Heward for hosting the opening panel of the Couchiching Conference 2025. Meeting so many amazing young women striving for change was truly inspiring—our next generation of leaders is ready to step up.

“A decade of aggressive cost-cutting has caused a significant — and so far sustained — decline in jobs across the oil and gas sector, while production has increased”. In The Toronto Sun, no less. torontosun.com/business/mon...

The thing about oilsands companies is that over the past decade they have focused on cutting as many jobs as possible in the name of efficiency while paying as little as possible for the pollution they cause.

[À lire] Si je peux me permettre, le livre de @cathmckenna.bsky.social, "Run Like a Girl", est à lire absolument, pour mieux comprendre ce que ça signifie de servir le public dans un contexte politique trop souvent très toxique. thewalrus.ca/they-called-...

"Study upon study has found that women who use their political power to push for environmental action are targeted much more frequently than their male counterparts, and the attacks they endure are far worse." 🔗 Read the full article: thewalrus.ca/they-called-...

Toronto friends—join me in my discussion with Nathaniel Erskine-Smith this Thursday for his live Uncommons podcast and a chat about my book, #RunLikeAGirl: www.eventbrite.ca/e/uncommons-...

I don't like talking about the hate & abuse I received in politics. I don't need sympathy. But we do need change. And I promised to support women & girls who want to go into politics. So here is my story. We need to stop this. Now. 🔗 thewalrus.ca/they-called-...

Come by this morning, drop off some electronics and say hi!

Hey Ottawa: Tomorrow’s the day! Recycle your used electronics and support a great organization! Just do it! 💪

This week I set the stage at the UNSG’s High-Level Dialogue on climate action by cities, regions, companies and financial institutions. Great to hear from the climate leaders but we need everyone to match climate ambition with integrity and action! #NYCClimateWeek #ClimateAction #NetZero

"It’s not a question of being “tough.” That’s a male construct. There are fewer paths for women into politics, as journalism shrinks and city council and school trustee posts vanish as a launchpad." 🔗 www.thestar.com/opinion/star... Article by @hmallick.bsky.social at the @thestar.com

Really excited that Time Magazine excerpted my chapter highlighting the vital role of women in climate leadership — especially in a time of so much “green hushing.” It’s courageous women who are standing up, speaking out, and moving climate action forward. time.com/7320420/wome...

Exactly. They insisted they were going to meet their emissions reduction targets until greenwashing legislation kicked in, and suddenly they cried poor. No reason to believe they’ll be any different this time.

For McKenna, the state of play is clear. The fossil fuel industry committed to climate action, then raked in “obscene” profits. Those could have been used for clean energy diversification, but the sector chose instead to return billions to largely US-based shareholders.

The former environment minister said carbon capture and sequestration — which Carney has thrown his support behind — is "not a get-out-of-jail-free card to continue increasing emissions.”

“Why does anyone think they'll uphold any of their side of any bargain that is made? They did nothing other than fight every single policy, and there are none of these policies now in any serious way.” My take on oilsands. @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/24/n...

#Glebe residents: This Sat Sept 27 from 10-2pm drop off your used computers, TV, cables, phones, cameras (anything with battery or plug!) to #Glebe Kunstadt Sports (680 Bank St in parking lot)! Stop e-waste from going into landfills & raise $ for Heartwood House! Spread the word! ♻️

Hard to believe that it was 8 yrs ago also in NYC at #UNGA #ClimateWeek, that I called out the “Climate Barbie” label that some thought was so clever. Passing on my lesson: Call out bullies! #RunLikeAGirl 💪

No better way than celebrating my #RunLikeAGirl launch than with Chappell Roan!

The wait is over! #RunLikeAGirl is available in bookstores and online today! This isn’t just about politics—it’s about possibility. From aspiring Olympian to Canada’s environment minister, my journey has been anything but linear. 🔗 Learn more: catherinemckenna.ca #WomenLeadingOnClimate

Just so we’re 💯 clear, the UN matters and multilateralism matters. No chance we’re getting out of the climate crisis unless every country works together.

Looking forward to speaking with Matt Galloway on CBC’s The Current now about #ClimateWeekNYC and my new book #RunLikeAGirl which is available in bookstores and online today! Yay!🏃‍♀️

On stage with @pe-coalition.bsky.social, @mindylubber.bsky.social, @wemeanbusiness.bsky.social & @chasecain.bsky.social—reminded me that consistency beats complacency. When the going gets tough, our climate conversations have to get louder. #ClimateWeekNYC

As we gear up for COP30, it’s clear: credible NDCs and robust national energy transition plans are the foundation for decarbonization. Thank you Bruce Douglas @gra-3xrenewables.bsky.social, Lauren Uppink Calderwood, Ørsted, and @e3g.bsky.social for a powerful kickoff at #ClimateWeekNYC!

Excellent piece by @gra-3xrenewables.bsky.social in @nytimes.com on renewables delivering concrete benefits—jobs, security, growth—for real people in real communities. #ClimateWeekNYC

Grateful for the opportunity to engage with the Youth Climate Assembly (climacan25.ca). These young leaders delivered thoughtful, actionable recommendations for Senators on climate—proof that young leadership is central to solving the climate crisis. 🔗Learn more climacan25.ca #YouthLeadingOnClimate

Excited to invite you to the #RunLikeAGirl book launch in Toronto on Oct 1! Join me for a fireside chat with a Q&A about leadership, resilience & creating change. Free event, registration required: forms.office.com/pages/respon... #WomenLeadingOnClimate

What a wonderful #RunLikeAGirl book launch! A super positive event with a fun & diverse crowd. Honoured that @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social attended with politicians across party lines, climate activists, family & friends. Thankful for the incredible support! 🏃‍♀️ carolineinthecapital.ca/catherine-mc...

On carbon pricing, the consumer carbon price we brought in when I was Environment Minister reduced GHGs & made life more affordable for low & middle income Canadians but then attacks from Conservatives & mistakes on our side doomed it. I discuss all this in my book #RunLikeAGirl

Quite the headline on the front of today’s @theglobeandmail.com! Killing carbon pricing was a big loss on climate, big loss on government revenues. Lose-lose.

t's back to school for Members of Parliament. My advice: Don’t be the kid who thinks being a bully is the way to get ahead. That’s no way to lead. Canadians expect their leaders to be capable, decent, and focused on results. Read: thestar.com/can-parliame... #RunLikeAGirl

Sat down with The Canadian Press for an exclusive interview on my new book Run Like A Girl. We discuss finding your own path, activism, and my journey or reinvention. Full interview: www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/environment/...

Tune in to CBC The House where to discuss my new book Run Like A Girl, my memoir about breaking the rules, make change, and finding your own path. I hope to inspire women and everyone who’s ready to run their own race. Listen here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... #RunLikeAGirl

So excited—just got my hands on the first printed copy of my new book Run Like A Girl! To preorder & for book tour dates: catherinemckenna.ca #RunLikeAGirl #WomenLeadingOnClimate #BookLaunch

Pope Leo will open a new Vatican-run ecological training centre in the Italian countryside in an initiative Catholic officials say is meant to encourage world leaders to address climate change.

It’s back-to-school for many right now, and students are showing us what climate leadership looks like. Read the full edition of the newsletter at the link below, and don't forget to share what you learn!

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine. Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Aug. 24 that his country will provide Ukraine with drones, ammunition, and armored vehicles as part of an aid package worth over one billion Canadian dollars, with deliveries expected in September.

Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, took part in celebrations for Ukraine’s Independence Day, expressing support for Ukrainians and assuring that Canada would always stand by Ukraine❤️

So awesome!!!

“We need people to go into politics & not feel threatened. It’s about the health of our democracy because if you want people to go into politics, you can’t expect that they’re going to put up with this and their families are going to put up with it.” My take on security threats to politicians.

I assume the Conservative Party will wholeheartedly support ambitious climate action given that accelerating climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels is making the wildfires burning across Canada bigger, hotter and more frequent.

CNN reporter Clarissa Ward voiced anger and helplessness over the killing of journalist Anas al-Sharif, condemning the Israeli occupation forces’ attempts to dehumanize Palestinian journalists. She highlighted the gap between the restrained language used in reporting and the intense
