Canada’s prime minister says governments like his have much to learn from cities and from the premier’s who’ve accompanied him to the climate change summit in Paris.

Justin Trudeau told 150 other leaders that the fight against climate change begins at home.

He says the recent election showed him Canadians are ready to take part in the fight against climate change.

Trudeau believes we all can and should be more conscious of how we can reduce our carbon footprint.

He views climate change not only as a challenge but as a historic opportunity.

”Canada is back my good friends.  We’re here to help to build an agreement that will do our children and grandchildren proud.”
