In Canada, the shift to a cleaner future is underway and it is not only helping reduce carbon pollution, it is also fostering incredible scientific breakthroughs, creating the jobs of the future, and sparking an energy revolution. Climate action is now a clear competitive advantage at the business level, at the community level and at the national level. That is why Canada developed a plan to price carbon pollution across the country. And global partnerships matter. As we have seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, when we work in collaboration with other countries, we strengthen our ability to solve problems that no one country can solve on its own.
The Consulates General of Canada in California are proud sponsors of the 2021 NACW Conference. Canada looks forward to working with international partners to address the challenges of climate change and promote sustainability. For more information, follow us: @CANCGSF @CANCGLA @environmentca |
