JPAC Hosts Working Meeting on CEC’s Collaborative Work Program and Ongoing Initiatives

For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, the Joint Public Advisory Committee (JPAC) held a hybrid working meeting in Montreal on December 9 and 10, 2021.

The working meeting provided a venue to discuss enhanced collaboration on environmental action in North America. Further, JPAC members identified priority topics to be addressed as part of their 2022 Annual Plan of Activities.

JPAC members met with the Commission for Environmental Cooperation’s key staff to discuss the CEC’s ambitious collaborative work program outlined in the 2021 Operational Plan. They expressed their continuous support and provided recommendations on ways to increase the organization’s impact.

As a result of the meeting, JPAC members will submit a letter to the Council reiterating their continuous support to the CEC’S work. It will also state the importance of promoting increased environmental cooperation at the continental scale.
