DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 12, 2023 /CNW/ -
Minister's reflection for today
"From late night huddles to early morning strategy meetings with High Ambition Coalition members, I am working tirelessly to resolve the issues we are faced with. Countries must come together to ensure COP28 is a success. Canada is active in this fight for our future."
? The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change
Canada's participation at COP28 reaffirmed its steadfast commitment to global environmental and climate priorities. Building on existing pledges, Canada reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable practices and made new commitments totalling over $67 million to address the needs and priorities of developing countries. These announcements will promote rapid access to resources and partnerships with developing countries and provide funding in five critical areas: loss and damage, adaptation, mitigation, climate governance, and halting and reversing biodiversity loss.
