Trudeau: ‘No Country on the Planet Can Walk away from the Challenge’ of Global Warming

‘There is no country on the planet that can walk away from the challenge and reality of climate change’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TRUDEAU: "Part of that new partnership will involve addressing the shared challenge of climate change. Indigenous and northern communities are particularly effected by its stark reality. In communities across the north, places like pal took and took a yook took, they're finding sea ice conditions more dangerous and unpredictable for traveling and hunting in the winter. In Canada's western arctic, the perma frost is melting and huge pieces of tundra are falling in the ocean. And inuit elders are finding it difficult to forecast the weather like they used to. So difficult that many are reluctant to try. We're working to help them adapt and prepare for the future. At the international level, our commitment is unwavering. There is no country on the planet that can walk away from the challenge and reality of climate change. And for our part Canada will continue to fight for the global plan that has a realistic chance of countering it. We have a responsibility for future generations and we will uphold it. We have a chance to build in Canada -- we have a chance to build in Canada and around the world economies that are clean. That are growing that are forward looking. We will not let that opportunity pass us by."
