Absolutely, thank you for that question, Heather.
I think if there's one thing that COVID-19 has taught us, it's how interconnected the world is, and that applies to climate change as well. What we're seeing is a lot of people recognizing that the impacts we're feeling because of COVID-19 are just a microcosm of the impact that climate change will have. Absolutely, Canada will continue in its leadership role with climate change moving forward.
As you probably noted, in my mandate letter from the Prime Minister I'm tasked with working on the intersection of women's rights and climate change. We've already undertaken a couple of initiatives, particularly with IFAD, which works primarily with small-scale agriculturalists—primarily women in sub-Saharan Africa—on building climate resilience and adaptation.
We have been consulting with partners here in Canada and around the world over the past eight months who are helping to feed into and build into our next climate financing initiative.
