When: 26–27 June 2007
Where: Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico.
The Canadian Environmental Network (RCEN) selected one (1) ENGO representative to attend the 14th Regular Session of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) Council
and other concurrent events to be held from June 26-27, 2007 in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico. During this session, the Council, which is composed of the top environmental officials from Canada, Mexico and the United States, will consider a program of action to address environmental issues facing North America.
Selected ENGO Representative:
Aaron Schneider, of the Ecology Action Center in Nova Scotia
The program of events begins on 26 June with a workshop entitled “Environmental Facts, Trends and Scenarios in North America,” organized by the Joint Public Advisory Committee (JPAC). Building on the results of this meeting, JPAC—composed of 15 citizens, five from each country—will provide advice to the Council.
On 27 June, the Council will participate in two public sessions. The first session represents an unprecedented opportunity for the public to attend the Council’s discussion on specific topics pertaining to the CEC’s work program. During the second session, Council members will host a public forum and hear from individuals selected to present oral statements on issues related to the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation or the CEC.
JPAC will also hold a regular session on 27 June in order to discuss a potential Advice to Council on the discussions held the previous day. Members of the public are invited to attend as observers.
Delegate Expectations :
- Review the pre-session documents for the meeting
- Attend 14th Regular Session of the CEC Council June 26-27 and adequately reflect the views of Canadian ENGOs
