What it does

The Program establishes Canada’s international climate change strategy and ensures Canada’s international engagement is reflective of and advances Canada’s international and domestic climate change priorities. The Program leads Canada’s efforts in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change process with a focus on the implementation of the Paris Agreement and provides leadership, expertise and advances Canada’s priorities in other international fora. Through Canada’s international climate finance commitments, the Program helps developing countries transition to sustainable, low-carbon, climate resilient, nature-positive and inclusive development. Financing is also provided to domestic and international organizations, and to climate science and other environmental organizations that work to advance global climate change action. The Program co-leads the negotiation of environmental commitments in Canada’s Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and is responsible for the implementation of environmental provisions in FTAs and environmental cooperation instruments. In addition, the Program supports the advancement of Canada’s climate agenda through bilateral and regional relations, and promotes Canadian clean technology abroad, including support for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
