Narrative:

While climbing thru approximately FL200; we received an amber 'right hydraulic press lo' cas message. Hydraulic synoptic page on mfd showed the right-hand hydraulic pressure dropping to 0 psi in about 1 minute and the right-hand hydraulic quantity was at 0%. We advised ATC that we needed to stop climb to troubleshoot problem. After executing the abnormal checklist for loss of right-hand hydraulic pressure; we contacted maintenance control to coordinate a satisfactory diversion plan. The crew; maintenance; and dispatch agreed that a diversion to ZZZ would be appropriate as ZZZ has usable runways in excess of 13;000 ft. ATC gave us routing to ZZZ. We declared an emergency with approach. Completion of the abnormal checklist was accomplished through the landing. The approach and landing were normal. The fire/rescue team inspected airplane after clearing runway and followed us to parking with no additional problems.
