Climate Solutions' Oregon Director Kristen Sheeran will be speaking 8:15 - 9:30 a.m. December 9th at NWEC on "Carbon Pricing - Approaches & Impacts." Several models for pricing carbon have been put forward, including cap-and-trade and a carbon tax. Each has different economic and societal impacts (i.e., different “winners” and “losers”). Join in a discussion of these models, their pluses and minuses, and what has been learned from jurisdictions that have already implemented them.

The Northwest's largest and most comprehensive environmental conference & tradeshow is now in its 26th year. NWEC brings the latest information and best practices in:     

• Environmental Protection & Compliance
• Sustainable Business Management
• New Technologies & Services

Regulatory compliance is the cornerstone of environmental management. However, other operational elements - now part of the sustainability concept - not only benefit the environment but also reduce costs, improve profitability, and enhance competitiveness. This conference brings these elements together to help companies thrive in today’s marketplace.
