CWF President to Chair National Roundtable Water Program
The Clean Water Foundation is pleased to announce that Christopher Hilkene has been named Chair of the National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy’s (NRTEE) new Program on Water and Canada’s Natural Resource Sectors.
The NRTEE initiated the Program on Water and Canada’s Natural Resource Sectors to:
- Identify the critical issues and opportunities associated with the
water, natural resource and climate change interrelationship; and,
- Catalyze the design and implementation of new policies, approaches and mechanisms through which water can be managed to foster both ecosystem health and economic sustainability of the agriculture, forestry, mining and energy sectors.
Over the next two years, the NRTEE will add value to the national water agenda by examining the relationship between the energy, mining, forestry and agriculture sectors and water sustainability in the context of changes in supply, availability and distribution flowing from climate change and rising economic demand.
In this role as Program Chair works closely with NRTEE members and staff as well as an Expert Advisory Committee composed of water and natural resource specialists from every region of the country.
