The Paris Agreement

     Today, April 22, is known as Earth Day around the globe, and there is an extremely influential meeting of nations taking place today. Last December, an agreement to collaborate and make an effort to take action against climate change was made in Paris. Over 160 countries, Canada included, are expected to sign this agreement on this very day. Justin Trudeau and Environment Minister Catherine McKenna are currently in New York for the signing ceremony today. McKenna told the press that the government of Canada has 6 months to work on a plan to fulfill the obligations of the treaty.
