PM Trudeau's pledges at COP26, and how they might affect Canadians

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has spent the last two days at the UN's COP26 climate talks in Glasgow, U.K., promoting the Canadian government's vision for climate action.

Many of Trudeau's proclamations at the summit reflected promises he made during the federal election campaign earlier this year. One such platform item he pushed for Tuesday was the implementation of a global price on carbon.

"Tackling the climate crisis will take all of us," he said in a news release. "Together, the global community needs to accelerate new and bold approaches to fighting climate change and building cleaner economies."

Trudeau further pledged action to tackle climate change through various programs, as well as increased aid for developing countries to help them transition toward cleaner economies.
