With President Joe Biden's April 22 Climate Leaders Summit approaching, EPA Administrator Michael Regan and Canada's Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson are pledging to "accelerate" cooperation in three priority areas - oil and gas methane emissions, transportation pollution and cleaner power - to address climate change.In a joint April 1 statement, the two officials promised cooperation "to accelerate policy actions based on science and evidence that support a healthy and just world for all.""Today we recommit to working together to fight climate change and grow our economies for the benefit of all our citizens, including those most vulnerable to climate and environmental threats," says the statement, which builds on a "Roadmap for a Renewed U.S. Canada Partnership" that Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced earlier this year.
