Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said during Sunday remarks at the United Nations (UN) in New York that "rich countries, such as Canada, have a duty to fight climate change." The speech was part of a plenary session of the two-day Summit of the Future, which precedes the UN General Assembly's general debate.
Trudeau said Canada is accomplishing this through a commitment of "$5 billion towards global climate financing efforts. And we are the first big oil and gas producing country to establish a UN emission ceiling in this sector."
"Nearly 80 years ago, in the aftermath of the most destructive war in our collective history, we formed these United Nations. And we did so with the aspiration to build something better for today's generations — but also for many generations to come. All of us gathered here have an opportunity to hold true to that mission," Trudeau said.
“We're at a global inflection point," Trudeau added. "We have a choice. On the one hand, we can bury our heads in the sand, eschewing multilateralism in favor of short sighted self-interest. Or we can recognize that collectively we have a responsibility to set our differences aside, to confront the serious global challenges.”
