Green Light: North America’s Environmental Fate is Already Shared
Hosted by USC Schwarzenegger Institute
The transition to a low-carbon economy is reshaping energy, transportation, infrastructure, and investment across North America. Yet environmental challenges do not stop at national borders. Mexico, the United States, and Canada share air, water, ecosystems, supply chains, and climate risks, making practical regional cooperation essential to their resilience and competitiveness.
This conversation will explore scalable solutions in clean energy, sustainable transportation, resilient infrastructure, and green jobs, while examining the institutions and cross-border partnerships that turn cooperation into measurable results. Bringing together policymakers, business leaders, and sustainability experts, the panel will consider how public-private collaboration and leadership at every level can advance environmental goals, strengthen communities, and create long-term economic value across North America.
