| 释义 |
The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) is an inter-governmental organization in Canada with members from the federal government, ten provincial governments and three territorial governments. Membership is at the Ministerial level and meetings typically occur at least annually to discuss national environmental priorities and determine work to be implemented through the CCME organization. The purpose of the Council is to "achieve positive environmental results, focusing on issues that are national in scope and that require collective attention by a number of governments."[1] Core activitiesMost work of the CCME involves interjurisdictional issues (e.g. air pollution, waste management, toxic chemicals). Members may propose nationally consistent environmental standards and objectives to achieve a common level of environmental quality across the country.
