Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he’s focused on climate policies likely to have the greatest impact at a time of strained resources and multiple crises, denying criticisms that he’s backpedaling on actions to protect the environment.

“What we need to do is to be as effective as possible, in terms of addressing climate change while growing our economy,” he said during a wide-ranging podcast interview for Bloomberg Weekend’s The Mishal Husain Show.
