Greening the North American Energy Relationship: Building a Stronger US-Canada Environmental Partnership.

Thursday, October 22, 2009

UCLA Covel Commons
Grand Horizon Room
Los Angeles, CA 90095

The United States and Canada share a unique opportunity to build a new North American economy, one that is both sustainable and competitive in a more globalized world. Fossil fuels drive the continent’s economic engines but at significant costs to our shared environment and the health of all North Americans. Entrepreneurs and innovators are designing solutions to lead us to a greener economy – business certainty through policy certainty will bring the investment needed to accelerate their work and provide a more sustainable future for North Americans.

"Greening the North American Energy Relationship: Building a Stronger U.S.-Canada Environmental Partnership" – a conference supported by UCLA and the Government of Canada – will open a window on where we are now on the policy front and how energy companies, from petroleum producers to nuclear power producers, are working on solutions for the future. The conference will attract business, investors, government officials, non-governmental organizations and the media. Keynote speaker David Suzuki, an award-winning scientist, environmentalist and broadcaster, will address what created the current situation and share implications for the United States and Canada.
