Description
On 14 December 2012, China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection (China MEP) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) signed a framework agreement on strategic cooperation. This agreement involved China MEP committing $2 million annually to the China Trust Fund which focuses on environmental protection in African, ASEAN, and Central Asian countries. According to a 2017 Final Report from UNEP, $360,000 USD from the China Trust Fund was allocated towards strengthening the capacity of Asia Pacific countries to adopt environmentally friendly alternatives through South-South Cooperation under the Montreal Protocol (T3-P4) (p. 4). This project took place in unspecified Asia Pacific countries. As of January 2017, progress was ongoing.
