Date: 01/20/2010
Professional: Lawrence Herman
Conference: Trade and Climate Change Forum

 

 

 

 

 

The Copenhagen climate change conference has ended.  Even though final agreement was not achieved, greenhouse-gas reduction measures are being implemented by many countries. Foremost is the United States, where a major climate change bill passed the House of Representatives and is now proceeding through the Senate.

What does all of this mean for Canadian business?

Cassels Brock will hold its next Forum on Trade and Climate Change with a timely and informative review of the results in Copenhagen, the state of play in the US Congress and the implications for Canada.

Join us for an inside view by these respected experts followed by a discussion of the issues facing Canada.
