Centrum Stosunków Międzynarodowych - 10 March 2016: US and Canada make joint statement on tackling climate change

On 10 March 2016, US President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a joint statement in which they made clear they would live up to the earlier Paris Agreement on climate change and came up with ideas on how to implement it. Both countries want to take a leading role when it comes to climate change, a big change compared to the former Canadian governments of Stephen Harper that was more sceptic of climate change and whether to tackle it, while it re-confirms Obama's policy of tackling climate change as well. The two leaders now want to get NAFTA partner Mexico on board as well in their joint effort.
