NRDC hopes you will be able to join us on April 25 from 9 - 4 pm for a US and European environmental experts dialogue on climate change and energy.

This transatlantic conference, co-sponsored with the Institute for European Environmental Policy, will offer a forum to debate EU and US approaches to emissions trading and reducing emissions in the transport sector. It will also provide an opportunity to present the conclusions of our transatlantic civil society dialogue to decision-makers and the general public.

For further details about this conference, please see the draft agenda (attached).

Please RSVP to Melanie Nakagawa at NRDC by email by Wednesday April 22: mnakagawa@nrdc.org.


Brief background of the Transatlantic project: NRDC has been working for 2 years with the Institute for European Environmental Policy, based in Europe, on the "Transatlantic Platform for Action on the Global Environment", or "T-PAGE" project. This 2-year effort began in 2006 with a series of teleconferences culminating in this conference in April. The project serves as a forum for debate between NGOs in the EU and US on relevant climate and energy policies. The goal is to identify areas for future collaboration and exchange experiences to help inform policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic.
