The Institut Veolia Environnement has co-organised its fourth conference in Montreal with two recognized North-Americans partners:


The National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy

The National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE, Canada) is dedicated to exploring new opportunities to integrate environmental conservation and economic development, in order to sustain Canada's prosperity and secure its future. NRTEE current project focuses include Climate Change Adaptation and Energy and Climate Change.

In June 2006, the NRTEE released Advice on a Long-Term Strategy on Energy and Climate Change. The strategy was based on a technology-driven scenario developed by the NRTEE that examined how to, by 2050, meet the energy needs of a growing economy, achieve substantial reductions in carbon emissions, and improve the air quality in Canada.


The Pew Center on Global Climate Change

The Pew Center on Global Climate Change (USA) is an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to promoting practical and effective climate change policies in the United States and internationally. The Center produces expert analysis of climate science, economics, solutions, and policy issues; facilitates dialogue among policymakers, stakeholders, and experts; and contributes directly to the policymaking process. The Center's work is closely informed by its Business Environmental Leadership Council, a group of 42 major companies in diverse sectors, with a combined market value exceeding $2.4 trillion, committed to advancing solutions on climate change. With 10 major companies and three other NGOs, the Center is a founding partner of the US Climate Action Partnership, which supports mandatory national climate policies in the United States. It also is actively engaged with governments and business in exploring options for a post-2012 international climate framework. The Pew Center was established in May 1998 by The Pew Charitable Trusts, one of the United States' largest philanthropies and an influential voice in efforts to improve the quality of the environment, and is funded entirely by charitable sources.
