Canadian Government

In 1999, Canada's government made the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. The goal of this act is to protect the environment and human health, to produce resources for other people. The federal government has a lot of other ways to protect the environment. Justin Trudeau is playing an important role to help improve the environment. He wants to create change and reduce the causes of climate change.

  • World Wildlife Fund: This organization supports global survival tactics as well as habitat conservation.

Canada's Help System

Canada's Interaction with Other Regions

When some countries are struggling, other countries (like Canada and United States) help out. There are three different types of groups that help to protect the environment:

  • Canadian government
  • Non-governmental organizations (NGO)
  • Individual Canadians

Canada participates in environmental plans that helps the environment. Canada has signed the Great Lakes Quality Agreement with the United States. Two of the countries are determined to improve water condition in areas of the Great Lakes. During crisis, countries like Syria ask for help, and they are not turned down. Canada has organizations, like the World Health Organization (WHO) and Canadian Red Cross.
