Canada-U.S Climate Policy Outreach Session – Calgary, Alberta – February 22, 2011
On February 22nd, the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy in collaboration with Climate Change Central will host a half-day dialogue session in Calgary that will bring together thought leaders to review the NRTEE’s recent report Parallel Paths: Canada-U.S. Climate Policy Choices and discuss its findings and their implications for Canadian climate policy. The insights generated in this session will be combined with advice generated through dialogues being led by NRTEE across the country and submitted to the Minister of the Environment.
