Subject: [ficmnew] North American Leaders' statement on invasive species collaboration


From Bruno Paris, CWS Canada:

Leaders' Statement<http://pm.gc.ca/eng/news/2016/06/29/leaders-statement-north-american-climate-clean-energy-and-environment-partnership> on a North American Climate, Clean Energy, and Environment Partnership includes statement on invasive species collaboration

During the recent North American Leaders' Summit in Ottawa, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, and US President Barack Obama shared a common commitment to a competitive, low-carbon and sustainable North American economy and society. The portion of their statement dealing directly with invasive species asserts they will work together to "Strengthen cooperation on invasive alien species:
§  Further collaborate on addressing invasive alien species on a continental scale. Establish a trilateral working group to explore the development of a high level joint Strategy and Action Plan identifying key areas for collaboration, including under the Commission for Environmental Cooperation, and to initiate a survey of existing transboundary invasive alien species projects and initiatives."

The Canadian Wildlife Service, the Mexican National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity, and the US National Invasive Species Council will join together in leading this initiative.
