Advancing United States-Mexico Binational Sustainability  Partnerships

 

A public report briefing on Advancing United States-Mexico Binational
Sustainability Partnerships will be held on Wednesday, January 19th from
3:00-4:00 pm Eastern.

This new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering,
and Medicine and the Mexican Academy of Sciences examines the border
region shared by the United States and Mexico which is currently
experiencing multiple crises on both sides that present challenges to
safeguarding the region's natural resources and to ensuring the
sustainable development and livelihoods of its residents. These
challenges are exacerbated by stressors including global climate change,
increasing urbanization and industrialization and attendant air and
water-quality degradation, and rapid population growth. Navigating these
challenges and preserving the area’s cultural richness, economy, and
ecology will require building strategic partnerships that engage a broad
range of stakeholders from both countries, as envisioned in the
Sustainable Development Goals and in particular Goal 17 on
sustainability partnerships.

Sustainability Partnerships in the U.S.–Mexico Drylands Region.
