Advancing the Sustainable Development Goals
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been a proponent of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since taking office. His government has worked to integrate these goals into national policy to ensure that Canada plays a significant role in promoting global sustainability. Some of the key areas where Prime Minister Trudeau has shown commitment include:
- Climate Action: Trudeau’s government has implemented a national price on carbon, invested in clean technology, and committed to net-zero emissions by 2050.
- Gender Equality: The introduction of Canada’s first feminist international assistance policy has been a cornerstone of Trudeau’s approach to foreign aid, focusing on the empowerment of women and girls.
- Quality Education: Investments in education, including Indigenous education, have been a priority to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education.
- Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions: Trudeau has emphasized the importance of democratic values, human rights, and the rule of law in both domestic and international policies.
These initiatives reflect Canada’s dedication to the “Build Back Better” approach, which aims to create a more resilient and sustainable society post-pandemic.
