This workshop was envisioned to share lessons learned on vulnerability assessment tools and ecosystem function, data needs and adaptive management planning process. It also aims at determining priorities and near terms actions, in order to support local communities in adapting to potential climate change effects.
This meeting will bring together high-level decision-makers and technical experts on forest carbon policy to exchange knowledge and experiences about climate change policy and assessment of mitigation options in the three countries.
As part of JPAC’s commitment to address water at each of their meetings this year, as well as Council’s annual theme “Climate Change, Adaptation and Resilience,” this session will address “Water and Climate Change: Adaptation through Green Infrastructure.” Participants at this meeting will discuss how green infrastructure and land-use planning have been used throughout North […]
In July 2014, the Commission for Environmental Cooperation Council—North America’s highest-level environmental authorities—announced that the CEC would focus on three priority areas for its 2015–2020 Strategic Plan: Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation; Green Growth; and Sustainable Communities and Ecosystems. These priorities include trilateral engagement on coastal and marine issues. Climate change is affecting North America’s […]
The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) of North America was created by the environmental side agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It has fostered trilateral cooperation on environmental issues of common concern for over two decades, including the link between trade and the environment, and how this relation affects society. As part […]
Technical meetings to discuss progress on the application of empirical carbon budget models and disturbance models at several pilot sites in Mexico, select pilot study areas and discuss and agree on the completion of the 2005 to 2011 annual land cover time series and the assessment of the potential for a spatially detailed (30m) and […]
On July 11, Canadian, Mexican and US high-level government environment officials came together and engaged the public in a town hall meeting focused on the relationship between transportation and the environment. The officials previewed plans for CEC work over the next two years, launching trinational efforts to green transportation in North America, tackle climate change and improve […]
This event will be conducted in English only. Join Dr. Karen Richardson, Program Manager at the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation, for a two hour workshop from 9:30-11:30am on how to use free maps and geospatial data to better understand place-based environmental issues, from industrial pollution to biodiversity conservation, by visualizing environmental change across […]
What an engaging hour! Thanks to all who joined us today for #CECTalks: Marine Protected Areas in a Changing Climate. A recorded version of the webcast will be available soon at www.cec.org/cectalks, so stay tuned! The Commission for Environmental Cooperation invites all who care about the future health of our oceans to join us for a one-hour […]
North America’s ecosystems are under enormous stress—from a changing climate, the pollution emitted into the air and water, and the overconsumption of natural resources. This stress has already made many of our ecosystems vulnerable to irreversible change, with direct impacts on the human communities that depend on those ecosystems. This workshop will take a close […]
