Climate: Minister and Climate Change

climate: That includes ministers whose portfolios have traditionally overlapped with environmental concerns, such as the minister of natural resources and the minister of oceans and fisheries, according to National Observer. But Trudeau is also challenging officials such as the minister of Canadian heritage, who will work with national museums to increase Canadians' awareness of climate change and work with Wilkinson on new legislation to regulate federally owned heritage lands. In addition to Jonathan Wilkinson, who was named minister of environment and climate change last month, 16 members of Trudeau's cabinet were given explicit directives to work on climate issues. Before entering politics, Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault was a prominent environmental activist.

Wilkinson, whose mandate letter calls on him to introduce new greenhouse-gas reduction initiatives to help Canada achieve its emissions targets under the Paris Agreement, will be an especially active and influential figure in cabinet.
