High-Level Ministerial Dialogue on Climate Ambitions
  • In February 2021, President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau launched the Canada-US High Level Ministerial Dialogue on Climate Ambition at their bilateral meeting.
  • This dialogue emerged from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) warning back in 2018 where the panel warned the international community that the world would face catastrophic and potentially irreversible impacts with rising global temperatures.
  • The purpose of this dialogue is for Canada and the U.S. to increase efforts aligned with the Paris Agreement and to achieve net-zero emission objectives while also allowing the two countries to explore greater opportunities to align policies and approaches to create jobs, tackle climate change, climate change inequality, and climate impacts.
  • With their close and shared borders, this dialogue is intended to help Canada and the US to work cooperatively to address climate change and act as global leaders on the matter.
