Visualizing North America's Changing Environment
- 1. Visualizing North America’s Changing Environment Karen Richardson Program Manager, Terrestrial and Marine Ecosystems and North American Environmental Atlas Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC)
- 2. Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC, CCE, CCA) www.cec.org • CEC is an intergovernmental organization created by Canada, Mexico and the United States under the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC) to address environmental issues of continental concern. • The Agreement complements the environmental provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994 • Three countries. One environment.
- 3. Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC, CCE, CCA) www.cec.org • The CEC was established to protect the environment of North America and the health of its citizens. • It brings together governments, civil society and businesses to develop innovative North American solutions to global environmental challenges. • Secretariat based in Montreal • Reports to highest environment officials in each country

- 5. Workshop Goals 1. Familiarize users with the North American Environmental Atlas (www.cec.org/naatlas) 2. Demonstrate how different layers can be used to visualize environmental issues and change across North America 3. Explore different formats for geo-spatial analyses using reliable data 4. Explore different examples and related resources www.cec.org/naatlas
