Canada and Japan announced a new, collaborative effort to tackle three of the globe’s biggest issues affecting the environment: Plastic pollution, methane emissions and biodiversity loss.<\/p>\n

Tackling the biggest climate problems affecting the planet<\/a> will require all countries to work in unison, a strategy that has led to a new, joint effort from Canada and Japan.<\/p>\n

A collaborative, multi-layered plan to address plastic pollution<\/a>, methane emissions<\/a> and biodiversity loss<\/a> was formally announced on April 24 by the two countries<\/a>. The measures were disclosed publicly at the third Canada\u2013Japan Ministerial Dialogue on Climate and Environment, held in Paris, France, on April 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cCanada is committed to leading on climate action and protecting nature at home and abroad to uphold our commitment to the Paris Agreement and keep the 1.5 C goal within reach<\/a>,” said Dabrusin.<\/p>\n

“Partnerships with countries like Japan help turn these commitments into tangible results, tackling methane emissions, plastic pollution, and nature loss while building stronger, more resilient economies.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published on Apr. 26, 2026, 5:37 PM Canada and Japan announced a new, collaborative effort to tackle three…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20547,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17,3517,10331,10332,10330],"class_list":{"0":"post-20546","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-canada","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-climate","10":"tag-ghg","11":"tag-global-warming","12":"tag-plastics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
