Fuller’s inauguration comes days ahead of the approaching G7 Summit on June 8 and 9, which will focus heavily on maintaining healthy water systems, combatting climate change and transitioning to clean energy, says a statement by the Prime Minister’s office.

“Today, we announced the appointment of Patricia Fuller as Canada’s new Ambassador for Climate Change to help advance Canada’s clean growth and climate change priorities on the world stage,” said Trudeau.

“Later this week at the G7 Summit, we will bring world leaders together to discuss how we can reduce plastic pollution, tackle climate change, and improve the health of the world’s oceans.”

As Ambassador for Climate Change, Fuller will advise both Chrystia Freeland, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Catherine Mckenna, the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, on how best to manage, advance and facilitate climate change priorities and actions in Canada and on a global scale.
