The International Institute for Sustainable Development’s Water Innovation Centre (WIC) has issued a synthesis report that captures the consensus reached at the recent Lake Winnipeg Basin Summit in Winnipeg, held in early December. The report sets out the guiding principles for creating opportunities to reduce nutrient loadings in the lake basin and building a process for achieving a vision for the future.
In January 2011, the Lake Winnipeg Basin Summit steering committee recommended to IISD that it build on the momentum and goodwill generated at the summit and pursue a work program oriented towards the focus question of the summit—how to create economic opportunities for Manitoba while reducing nutrient loading within the Lake Winnipeg Basin.
