An official statement issued by the Canadian PM's website said Canada is committed to working with others in the G7 and beyond to strengthen resilience, fight climate change, and protect oceans for generations to come.
As with all work under Canada’s G7 presidency, these discussions will include a focus on gender equality and women’s empowerment, read the statement.
“Our oceans and coasts are under considerable threat – from increases in plastic pollution, more frequent and severe weather events, and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. Resilient coastal communities and healthy oceans are vital to growing economies that work for everyone and that is why we are committed to working with others to protect the world’s oceans," the Canadian PM said in a statement.
