Progress Through Process: Achieving Sustainable Development Together – Convene
Through two roundtable discussions and a series of one-on-one interviews, with Canada’s leading experts and practitioners in this field, we asked and discussed two key questions: Is there a governance problem for sustainable development in Canada? How can collaboration and engagement improve public policy for sustainable development?
Meetings
October-November 2009
The NRT and the Public Policy Forum convened a select group of sustainability experts and stakeholders, business and environment leaders, together with senior federal and provincial government representatives and public engagement professionals and the media, as well as NRT members, for two focused roundtables to discuss, debate, and determine how sustainability governance can be improved.
Roundtable 1 – October 6, 2009
Is there a governance problem?
Roundtable 2 – November 10, 2009
What are the alternatives to the traditional policy process?
