COP26 summit: Trudeau says pollution pricing key to lowering emissions during leaders’ address

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called for the creation of a global price on carbon during his speech to world leaders at the COP26 climate summit on Monday. “Just as globally we’ve agreed to a minimum corporate tax, we must work together to ensure it’s no longer free to pollute anywhere around the world,” he said, adding that Canada has also committed to capping oil and gas sector emissions to ensure the nation reaches net zero by 2050.
