Background Information

Read the CEC Operational Plan 2006-2008.

The Operational Plan presents how the goals and objectives of Looking to the Future: Strategic Plan of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation 2005–2010 (see page 25) will be accomplished over the next three years by describing the implementation of the key Initiatives. In June 2005, the Council adopted the CEC’s five-year Strategic Plan that describes the Council’s new priorities for its cooperative program and the goals and initiatives for accomplishing them. In developing the Strategic Plan, the Council took into account recommendations of the Report from the Ten-year Review and Assessment Committee, the Joint Public Advisory Committee (JPAC), and key stakeholders.
