BELÉM, Brazil – The Honorable Julie Dabrusin, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, issued this statement at the conclusion of the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Belém, Brazil… “…Canada’s delegation worked with counterparts from around the world … to advocate for measures to confront the urgent realities of a rapidly changing climate and the need to accelerate climate action globally. Throughout the negotiations, Canada worked with countries to strengthen multilateralism; foster dialogue; build consensus; and advance evidence-based, inclusive climate action. …As the world moves rapidly toward net zero, Canada is well positioned to lead. …the science is clear that we need to do more, faster and together, to keep 1.5 °C of warming within reach. …one of Canada’s top priorities for COP30 was to push for more collective action to reduce emissions …to meet the Paris Agreement’s temperature goals.
