The the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a report that says governments must make "rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society" to avoid disastrous levels of climate change.
Global News reports that while the... new United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) is similar to its NAFTA predecessor in many ways, the removal of Chapter 11 – the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) provisions that allowed foreign corporations to sue the governments over policies and regulations that restrict their profits, even if they are done in the interest of the environment or people’s health – is a major victory according to some experts.
