International Affairs

There are few major environmental issues for which we can find causes or solutions solely within Canadian borders. Canada needs to cooperate effectively with other nations whose policies and activities affect the quality of our environment, and to find effective solutions to global environmental challenges. Canada also has international environmental obligations under various agreements and fora. The international dimension of Environment Canada's work is important to achieve Canada's international and domestic goals.
