Compendium of Canada's engagement in international environmental agreements and instruments. Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents.: En4-381/1-8-2018E-PDF
"The Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents supports the prevention of and response to industrial accidents that can affect the population and the environment of another country (i.e., transboundary effects) by outlining requirements to prepare for and respond to accidents, if they occur. The Convention assists countries to establish better industrial safety policies, and promotes active international cooperation between countries, before, during and after an industrial accident. Canada has signed but not ratified this Convention. Canada does however, have a plan in place with the United States (Canada-United States Joint Inland Pollution Contingency Plan) to support coordinated response efforts to accidental releases that may have transboundary impacts along the inland border shared between the two countries"--Plain language summary.
