Over the last century, the warming of our natural environment has accelerated due to human activity and is beginning to have significant impacts across continents and demographics. The imperative need to limit the changes in environmental conditions and manage changes brought on by climate change are, by geography, issues that Canada and the United States must face together. This year's annual conference will delve into these issues from the perspective of trans-border impact, initiatives, and need for cooperation. Our expert panelists and distinguished lecturers will cover issues ranging from efforts to limit carbon emissions, to planning for the changes to shared resources such as the Great Lakes, to national security and more. Our guests and presenters from government, academia, and industry from both countries will review these topics from their national viewpoints and engage the audience in much needed dialogue on the issues.
