…making sustainability make sense… Developing a Common Vision for Transboundary Sustainability Regional sustainable development is affected by activities on both sides of the border—especially those with transboundary significance U.S. and Canadian stakeholders share concerns on urbanization, trade and economic development, natural resources management, and other issues Mechanisms to develop transboundary sustainability strategies are needed Rationale/ Need GBPS QUEST

…making sustainability make sense… Extend the Georgia Basin QUEST simulation tool to encompass Puget Sound Begin with key areas of concern—possibly the urbanizing areas of King County Build a multi-client, multi- use simulation tool Proposed Concept GBPS QUEST

…making sustainability make sense… Priority Task: Conduct a Comprehensive Needs Assessment Leverage existing sustainability programs Example: Pacific NW Regional Collaboratory, NW Regional Sustainability Atlas Proposed Approach GBPS QUEST

…making sustainability make sense… PNW Regional Collaboratory—Initial Technical Portfolio

…making sustainability make sense… Priority Task: Conduct a Comprehensive Needs Assessment Leverage existing sustainability programs Example: Pacific NW Regional Collaboratory, NW Regional Sustainability Atlas Address regional policy and agency/program management audiences as a first priority Form an informal advisory group? Proposed Approach GBPS QUEST

…making sustainability make sense… Questionnaire How does the sustainability of the Georgia Basin-Puget Sound region affect your organization’s activities or decisions? What types of information do you use in these activities or decisions? What types of additional information—not presently available—would be most helpful to you? What are your principal concerns regarding the future sustainability of the Georgia Basin-Puget Sound region? GBPS QUEST
