JPAC Public Commentaries on draft 2011-2012 CEC cooperative work program
The Joint Public Advisory Committee (JPAC) of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) is requesting public input on the CEC’s draft cooperative work program for 2011-2012.
This program will serve as the basis of the CEC’s next Operational Plan, which will set forth cooperative actions to protect and enhance the North American environment under priorities established by the CEC Council—the environment ministers or equivalent of Canada, Mexico and the United States:
- Healthy Communities and Ecosystems
- Climate Change – Low-Carbon Economy
- Greening the Economy in North America
The CEC’s 2010-2015 Strategic Plan identifies objectives for each priority to guide development of operational plans that will achieve clear and tangible results.
The JPAC-led review of this draft cooperative work program is intended to be transparent and accessible. Your comments are important and appreciated.
The deadline to provide written comments is 27 April 2011. Please note that the draft project descriptions, as presented here, are subject to change as a result of comments from the public.
It is anticipated that, based upon its consideration of the proposed program, JPAC will provide advice to Council following the deadline for public comments.
For more information, contact JPAC Liaison Officer Marcela Orozco.
