RCE Conference of the Americas In May 2008, the Saskatchewan Regional Centre of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (SK RCE on ESD) hosted the RCE Conference of the Americas. It was held at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan. The purpose of the conference was to strengthen the United Nations RCE on ESD Network (www.ias.unu.edu/efsd/rce) and to raise awareness of education for sustainable development. A number of University of Saskatchewan faculty and graduate students presented papers and participated in panels at this conference.
