Calgary, Alberta, Canada
6-9 November 2008

Many practitioners believe that cumulative effects are increasing in severity and across larger scales in time and space. In some cases, this is connected to global or world-wide changes, such as climate change and biodiversity loss, through processes and interactions that are not well understood. This IAIA special meeting will:

a.. Bring together experts from 50+ nations in one place to take stock of key trends, issues and approaches to cumulative effects.
b.. Identify areas of strength and weakness of current impact assessment and resource management approaches in addressing cumulative effects.
c.. Document good practice and ways forward to improve and integrate the institutions, science and practice of cumulative effects assessment and management.
