MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A pair of Canadian fire chiefs were in New York this week to speak at a United Nations conference on climate change.
Brolund said firefighters are now battling blazes "on a scope and scale that's nearly impossible for us to be successful against," in part because of a changing climate leading to conditions that make it easier for fires to burn and grow.
"Environmental impacts from climate change have plagued our city in each season and challenged our firefighters, residents, government officials and businesses," Dean said.
Following the chiefs, Canada's federal minister of environment and climate change, Steven Guilbeault, said people living in communities impacted by wildfire understand that tackling climate change "is now a matter of survival" while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the devastating effect fires, smoky skies, flooding and storms have had on people across the country.
The event was organized by the government of Canada and the and the UN Office for Partnerships in an effort to promote the Global Carbon Pricing Challenge, which was launched by Trudeau in 2021.
The other partner countries are Chile, Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, Denmark, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, the United Kingdom and Vietnam.
