Reaching Horizon 2030: an Environmental Outlook for North American Cooperation
The global community recognizes that we are in a critical decade where meeting 2030 climate change and biodiversity goals is essential to keeping global warming within 1.5°C and addressing biodiversity loss. In the 2023 CEC Council Statement, the three North American countries underlined “the importance of promoting collective action to address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.”
The CEC work program offers a unique opportunity to support North America’s leadership as it contributes to key international goals. The Reaching Horizon 2030: an Environmental Outlook for North American Cooperation (H-2030) initiative will help inform CEC work so that it supports the Parties’ commitments to these climate and biodiversity targets.

About the CEC
The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) was established in 1994 by the governments of Canada, Mexico and the United States through the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, a parallel environmental agreement to NAFTA. As of 2020, the CEC is recognized and maintained by the Environmental Cooperation Agreement, in parallel with the new Free Trade Agreement of North America. The CEC brings together a wide range of stakeholders, including the general public, Indigenous people, youth, nongovernmental organizations, academia, and the business sector, to seek solutions to protect North America’s shared environment while supporting sustainable development for the benefit of present and future generations.
The CEC is governed and funded equally by the Government of Canada through Environment and Climate Change Canada, the Government of the United States of Mexico through the Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, and the Government of the United States of America through the Environmental Protection Agency.
We appreciate your interest in the CEC and wish to inform you that only short-listed candidates will be contacted. All résumés will be kept on file for a six-month period and taken into consideration for any suitable vacancies occurring during that time.
