The West Coast Infrastructure Exchange (WCX), the first of its kind in the U.S., has proven to be an effective tool to coordinate regional infrastructure projects, build public sector capacity, and identify investable projects for private sector partners. This webinar will support CGI members in replicating and expanding regional infrastructure exchanges in their regions.

August 13
Elephants Action Network: Ivory Trafficking and Demand Reduction (http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.org/ourmeetings/upcoming_opportunities.asp?utm_source=cgi&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=oe_email&utm_term=ofe_digital&utm_source=June+OE+-+Regular&utm_campaign=ee990b7045-June_OE_Regular_FINAL_FINAL6_3_2013&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8f77b33c8f-ee990b7045-57584177)

This Elephant Action Network teleconference will focus on ivory trafficking and demand. The 90 minute call will be divided into two parts: the first half will address members’ work in combating ivory trafficking and the second half will address demand reduction. Companies, government agencies, and conservation NGOs will discuss their work in these areas and will explore possible future collaboration.

Thank you for your involvement with CGI.

Sincerely,
Clinton Global Initiative
