The Joint Public Advisory Committee (JPAC) of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) is seeking input from individuals and communities across North America to help shape the future of regional environmental cooperation through its “Reaching Horizon 2030: An Environmental Outlook for North American Cooperation” (H-2030) initiative.
This consultation is your opportunity to share insights and recommendations on how the CEC can best address key environmental challenges through regional environmental cooperation and the H-2030 initiative. By participating, your input will inform the development of strategies that help address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, all while working to achieve North America’s environmental, climate, and biodiversity goals.
What is the Reaching Horizon 2030 initiative?
The goal of the Horizon 2030 initiative is to provide crucial information and recommendations that will chart the course for the CEC’s work and the future of North American environmental cooperation. This initiative focuses on three priority topics identified by the Governments of Canada, Mexico and the United States:
- Earth Observation Technologies and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Tools
- Sustainable Transportation
- Ecosystem Services and Sustainable Use/Management of Biodiversity
These areas were identified as key priorities because of the strong potential for regional collaboration to significantly enhance efforts to accelerate progress to 2030 and address the triple planetary crisis.
Why is this consultation important?
This consultation provides a vehicle for people throughout our region to share their views on how the CEC can advance these critical areas and strengthen the future of North American environmental cooperation. Your input will help ensure that the CEC’s initiatives are practical, inclusive and impactful, and that they contribute to achieving both regional and international environmental, climate, and biodiversity goals for 2030.
