Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau signed a memorandum of understanding on Thursday with California Gov. Gavin Newsom on day two of the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles.
The partnership on climate action and nature protection goes further than a 2019 agreement between the two jurisdictions on reducing vehicle emissions, and will work to “deliver clean air and water, good jobs, and healthy communities,” said a joint statement.
The two leaders cite similarities in current policies, including efforts to ban harmful single-use plastics, commitments to clean electricity and oceans, and nature preservation plans.
The deal will encourage sharing of information and best practices as the world deals with a narrowing window to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
