The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) recently released a new report, North American Environmental Outlook to 2030, examining “the major forces and underlying trends likely to shape the environment of North America in 2030” and identifying nine specific areas where our decisions today will have the greatest future impact.
Evan Lloyd, executive director of the CEC and IEDS board member, points out that “The year 2030 is well within our planning horizon. The scenarios examined in this report suggest taking actions to confront those changes we can best affect in the short term, preparing for environmental change that is almost inevitable but amenable to action in the longer term, and finally, strengthening our knowledge concerning emerging changes about which we know the least”.
