Trudeau heads to Europe for a 6 days trip

Share On

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is embarking on a six-day trip to Europe.

He'll attend planned climate discussions at the upcoming G-20 summit and United Nations COP 26 meeting.

It's the first time Trudeau will be at a COP meeting since the Paris agreement was signed just weeks after he first became prime minister in 2015.

Canada's emissions have risen more than three per cent since 2016, the most of any G-7 nation.
