How well is North America dealing with trade and environment after 20 years of NAFTA?
The CEC’s Joint Public Advisory Committee (JPAC) welcomes one and all to come to Washington, DC, on 17 and 18 October, to debate whether environmental cooperation across our borders has been successful or has fallen short over the last 20 years, and what future collaboration should look like. The debate will contribute to an official advice JPAC will draft to North America’s three environment ministers.

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.
