Canada's climate change ambassador says it's time for governments to take environmental factors into account in all their policies in the wake of severe flooding across eastern Canada. Fuller's job is to advise environment and foreign affairs ministers how to further Canada's climate change priorities on the global frontier. "They have clearly been indicating now for some time that these types of events will be more frequent as climate change advances." "We have to mitigate climate change so that we don't see even more extreme climate impacts. I think Canada and Japan, given their respective capacity or capability or potential, we deserve much more."
