Conclusions

Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations of the Conference

This is likely to be the least used of all the chapters of this Web site, until that is the last stages of the Conference and thereafter. This is only appropriate of course since it is quite literally the final destination of all of the preceding sections and of the meeting itself. For many who consult the electronic record of the meeting once the Vancouver Conference has formally closed its doors, it will be here where they are likely to begin their search. Since it is our intention to maintain this site over the full year, it will be these post-meeting uses that need to be kept to the fore and systematically anticipated and provided for.

Under these circumstances it is difficult for us to suggest at this moment much about even layout and organization of the following, never mind of course its content. For the time being, we will have to content ourselves with the admittedly elementary structure that is sketched out below, in the knowledge that as the results of this process begin to come in, all this will take shape.

• Main Findings of the Meeting
  • Key points where there is evidence of strong consensus
  • Important points where there are considerable differences of opinion
• Recommendations (General and specific, indicating the groups or institutions directly involved)
  • Research (including joint projects, interdisciplinary research and trans-national collaboration)
  • Institutional reform or innovations (International, national, other)
  • Demonstrations and action programs
• Final Reports
  • Official OECD documents
  • Reports, etc. of Environment Canada and other sponsors
  • Other post-meeting or follow-up reports or papers
• Press commentary (general and specialized)
