Canada, the United States and Mexico have agreed to establish a ministerial-level working group on climate change and energy issues.

Greg Rickford, Canada’s minister of natural resources, reached the deal – along with US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Pedro Joaquin-Coldwell, Mexico’s energy secretary – during a meeting of North American energy ministers.

The working group will focus on a number of issues, including reliable and low-carbon electricity grids, deployment of clean energy technologies including renewables, and energy efficiency for equipment, appliances, industries and buildings.

They will also look at carbon-capture, use and storage, climate change adaptation and resilience emissions from the oil and gas sector.
