In their Roadmap for a Renewed Partnership between the Two Nations, President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged to strengthen the implementation of the Paris Agreement to increase the scale and speed of action to address the climate crisis.

To keep the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius within reach, the United States and Canada are working across sectors to increase innovation and deployment to reduce emissions.

They also cooperate to deepen understanding and improve resilience to shared climate impacts.
