Mexico and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec have agreed to work together on developing carbon markets to curb greenhouse gases, marking the first international climate deal since United Nations envoys struck a pact in Paris last year.
The agreement to collaborate on pricing carbon builds on existing regional efforts to curb global warming, such as the Western Climate Initiative that includes California and Quebec, Ontario said in an e-mailed statement. Mexico is planning to pilot a carbon market later this year.
