About Maggie Hope Braun
Maggie Hope Braun is a Canadian civic advocate and founder of the KICLEI Canada Initiative, a grassroots movement helping communities reclaim local control from top-down global programs like the FCM ICLEI Partners for Climate Protection (PCP).
Her work focuses on practical environmental stewardship, local autonomy, and the protection of Canadian sovereignty through education, strategy, and direct engagement with councils.
Maggie’s perspective was shaped by a diverse upbringing—from a jungle village in New Guinea to island life in St. Lucia, and finally to small-town Ontario cottage country. These experiences gave her a deep appreciation for nature, community, and cultural integrity. After studying ecosystem management in 2007, she began to question the global climate narrative promoted by the United Nations and recognized its growing influence in local Canadian policies.
Since 2009, Maggie has developed a clear-eyed, strategic approach to advocacy. She produces reports, meeting scripts, and council frameworks that help communities speak up, organize, and engage their local governments with confidence and clarity.
Today, Maggie leads the coast-to-coast KICLEI campaign, offering tools and guidance to citizens who want to protect local interests, strengthen democracy, and push back against unelected global influence.
