#CEC31

#CEC31 brought North Americans together from 24 to 26 June 2024 in Wilmington, North Carolina to focus on this year’s theme: “Strengthening Environmental Justice through Community Empowerment.”

The event invited environmental justice advocates, Indigenous and community leaders, experts, youth leaders and activists to share their perspectives and engage in dialogues on North America’s most pressing environmental challenges.

The final session of #CEC31 featured a dialogue with the Council under the theme: “Strengthening Environmental Justice through Community Empowerment,” marking the CEC’s 30th year of facilitating trilateral environmental cooperation.

During this year’s Council Public Meeting, the Council introduced the first cohort of the Generation of Environmental Leaders Program (#GELP).

The Council also announced a new set of initiatives and projects that will advance trilateral environmental cooperation via the CEC for the coming years and reaffirmed three decades of environmental cooperation through the 2024 Council Statement.
