Asia Pacific Partnership PFC Task Force Visits China

摘要

The Asia Pacific Partnership (APP) is a group of seven countries-Australia, Canada, China, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the U.S.-cooperating to meet both their increased energy needs and associated challenges, including those related to air pollution, energy security, and greenhouse gas intensities. At the APP's inaugural meeting in 2006 in Sydney, Australia, Ministers agreed to a work plan setting out an innovative approach of using government-industry task forces to develop sustainable solutions to shared challenges through bottom-up practical action. Public, private, and research experts and leaders from each of the countries have focused on clean development issues in eight key sectors: cleaner fossil energy, renewable energy and distributed generation, power generation and transmission, steel, aluminum, cement, coal mining, and buildings and appliances.
