2.2: Expertise & Information

Engagement of experts and strengthened information sharing in climate change and low-carbon economy

Other Information:

The Parties could facilitate engagement of experts and information sharing to address climate change and low-carbon economy issues, taking steps to identify partnerships that could contribute to additional progress. Further, the Parties could coordinate with other experts and leverage other networks outside the government. To facilitate a broad and readily accessible mechanism for the sharing and dissemination of information among North American experts, the Parties could establish an online information-sharing platform focused on science, technologies, policies, and best practices. The system would complement existing North American and international mechanisms for sharing climate change-related information, drawing from those already provided by the three Parties to the UNFCCC, as well as experiences and lessons learned at other levels of government, as well as by academia and civil society. Initiatives under this strategic objective could lead to strategic results for the Parties, such as:

Stakeholder(s):

• Climate Change Experts


• Climate Change Groups: Other groups would also benefit from these initiatives. For example, for other levels of government and civil society, these initiatives would enhance the ability of the public to access relevant information and enable citizens, communities and organizations to take their own actions to transition to a low-carbon economy.


• Citizens


• Communities


• Organizations


• CEC Parties: In support of both Strategic objectives, the Parties could collectively undertake value-added focused projects that deliver GHG reductions and ancillary benefits to North America, from the hemispheric to the local level. In line with project selection criteria, the projects would be selected so as to complement, and not duplicate other bilateral and trilateral initiatives.
