EPA visits MIMES Team
November 13-15, 2007
We hosted a visit from the EPA here in Burlington. The purpose of this meeting was to compare notes on how the MIMES framework can help the EPA move their agenda forward. The outcome was laying a collaboration strategy for expanding the MIMES framework within all the EPA regions.
Here is the TIMELINE that we agreed upon. The next step is for each leader to define the purpose and the expected outcome for each specific project.
This conversation was started by Dr. Rick Linthurst and Dr. Bob Costanza in the context of a U.S. EPA Workshop on Common Ground for Conserving Ecosystem Services: Contributions From the Sciences of Ecology and Economics held in Arlington Virginia back in July 2007.
