As requested by Council, JPAC has examined how the North American Environment Fund could be established in accordance with the parameters set out in Council Resolution 95-9.
The attached document entitled “Administrative Structure and Funding Criteria for the North American Environment Fund” represents the advice of JPAC in the form of a working document. Such a document should allow the Alternates Representatives to review and decide on the issues related to the creation of the Fund.
JPAC recommends that a simple consultation take place by mail & electronic means with stakeholder in January 1996 to allow a final document for decision by Council in February or March in time for launching the Fund at the Council Session in Hamilton in April 1996.
