The preliminary program of public events is now available on the CEC web site at: <http://www.cec.org>. Other related documents will be sent to participants upon registration.
The session will start on 27 June with a JPAC session which comprises four round table discussions: Managing Pollutants in North America, Conservation of Biodiversity, North American Trade and Transportation Corridors, and Management of Renewable Resources.
