China, Japan, ROK: 10 priorities for green growth

 

Environment ministers from China, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK) yesterday drew up a list of 10 priorities to help strengthen cooperation and pursue low-carbon growth across three nations. The trio, who met for the 11th Tripartite Environment Ministers’ Meeting in Beijing on the weekend, agreed tackling pollution during the global economic downturn was vital. The priorities they will focus on for the next five years are environmental education, climate change, biodiversity, sandstorm prevention, air and water pollution management, circular economy, trans-boundary electronic waste and toxic chemicals management, northeast Asia environmental governance and the development of green technologies.
