Getting anything accomplished under President-elect Trump might seem far-fetched. But it’s happened before.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spent his first day at the G20 leaders' summit Monday speaking in closed-door meetings about issues like continental trade, fighting world hunger and multilateralism, as Donald Trump's impending return to the White House poses risks to global support for all those things.

The meeting will take place a day after The Associated Press reported that Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to strike deeper inside Russia.

International climate change negotiations are kicking off this week in Azerbaijan, with trillions of dollars that will decide the fate of the planet’s warming trajectory set to be negotiated against a global backdrop of worsening extreme weather.

Trump may be a climate-denying fossil fuel booster, but the climate science isn’t changing. The crisis is real, it is here, and much work remains to cut global emissions in half by decade’s end — as scientists say is urgently required.

The Inflation Reduction Act was enacted in a hyper-partisan environment, but it has gained support among Republicans. Will its emissions-cutting programs endure?

As climate activists spoke out against fossil fuel presence, countries detailed the barriers slowing their transition to clean energy.

"You can just see the brainpower heading south," said Ken Seitz, the CEO of Saskatoon-based Nutrien Inc., adding the tax credits and subsidies offered through act are drawing investment dollars south of the border when it comes to things like renewable energy and carbon capture and storage.

The first full year of the Inflation Reduction Act, the sprawling climate bill passed by Democratic votes in Congress in 2022, saw nearly 150,000 clean energy jobs added, according to a new report by nonpartisan business group E2.

Of the 1,500 policies in 41 countries, researchers found only a small fraction actually had impact — and usually as part of a larger strategy that included multiple angles of attack.

The Liberals are in a make-it-or-break-it moment, following more than a year of slumping polling numbers and at most a year left before the next federal election.

Bruce Heyman, who served as ambassador from 2014 to 2017, gave Canada a “tsunami warning,” saying if Trump takes the White House, Canada is at great risk.

Canada's ambassador to the United States says the country is looking for an administration willing to deepen its defence relationships as NATO allies watch closely to see what the Democratic National Convention may reveal about how Kamala Harris could approach foreign policy.

Canada’s ambassador to the United States says she’s telling Americans about the important relationship between the neighbours as Democrats develop their foreign policy and build unity behind Vice-President Kamala Harris at the party's national convention.
