The issues presented in this discussion paper will inform the agenda of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation’s (CEC) Joint Public Advisory Committee’s (JPAC) environmental outlook conference to be held on 25 June 2008. In addition to the JPAC’s consideration of these topics, the CEC Council has asked the Secretariat to summarize and assess the existing research concerning the major forces and underlying trends that are likely to impact the environment in North America to 2030. This research is expected to be published later in 2008. These initiatives are intended to assist the CEC in the consideration and development of its 2010-2015 Strategic Plan by highlighting possible areas for cooperative action to support environmental mitigation, adaptation and innovation strategies across all three countries. |
