BC riverNorth America's Environmental Outlook: Nine Topics to Watch for 2011 and Beyond

What is the future for North America's environment? Much of the answer is up to us. A new report by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) examines the major forces and underlying trends likely to shape the environment of North America in 2030 and outlines nine areas where decisions today will affect our environmental future in varying degrees. In fact, while the pressures on North America's environment will continue to increase over the next 20 years, the report emphasizes that it would be a mistake to assume that our choices today can't influence environmental quality down the road.
