June 10 (UPI) -- California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have entered into a partnership to fight climate change at the Summit of the Americas.
Newsom and Trudeau signed a memorandum of cooperation Thursday during a press conference at the California Science Center in Los Angeles that outlines shared objectives of the partnership on emissions reduction, nature protection, zero-emission vehicles, climate adaption and circular economy.
"We can't fight the climate crisis on our own -- we need to work together with partners all across the globe to achieve humanity's most important task: saving our planet," Newsom said. "This partnership with Canada is a vital step on California's path to a cleaner, greener future and is the latest expression of our shared values."
The objectives of the partnership include collaborating on their zero-emission transport goals, such as having all new light-duty vehicle sales by 2035 be electric, reducing overall emissions and eliminating emissions from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and off-road engines.
