A select group of public, private and nonprofit organizations from the U.S. and China have joined together in EcoPartnerships to pilot best practices in promoting economic growth, energy security and environmental sustainability. This video featuring Secretary Kerry highlights a few examples of those EcoPartnerships.

[Secretary John Kerry:] China and the United States have entered
into a series of partnerships.
00:00:05.083,00:00:06.750
[TEXT: John Kerry, United States Secretary of State]
00:00:06.750,00:00:08.833
[Kerry:] The EcoPartnerships is one program.

[TEXT: Devinder Mahajan, Professor, Stony Brook University
Chinese State Administration of Foreign Expert Affairs
High-End Foreign Expert]
00:00:10.792,00:00:13.167
[Devinder Mahajan:] The idea is to have institutions from both
countries
00:00:13.167,00:00:17.375
collaborate and try to address energy and environment issues.
00:00:17.375,00:00:21.792
The program is overseen by the United States Department
of State and
00:00:21.792,00:00:25.208
the National Development and Reform Commission China.
00:00:25.208,00:00:30.125
The technical work is done at the institutions like
universities, private sector
00:00:30.125,00:00:33.542
or even at the state or the municipality level.
00:00:33.542,00:00:35.583
[TEXT: Zhao Yimin, Head of the Yangtze Fishery Committee,
Mississippi-Yangtze EcoPartnership]
00:00:35.583,00:00:37.667
[Zhao Yimin:] It can be said that this type of partnership
00:00:37.667,00:00:40.375
has built a new bridge between the government
00:00:40.375,00:00:42.708
and the nongovernment [partners]
00:00:42.708,00:00:45.875
and has provided a type of model of cooperation
00:00:45.875,00:00:48.917
between the two, worthy to be emulated.
00:00:48.917,00:00:53.250
[Mahajan:] Since the project started, there are
30 ecopartners.
00:00:53.250,00:00:56.125
[Fred Krupp:] One example is the Shenzhen EcoPartnership.
00:00:56.125,00:00:58.792
[TEXT: Fred Krupp, President of Environmental Defense Fund]
00:00:58.792,00:01:02.000
[Krupp:] The objective is to take cars and taxis,
buses and trucks,
00:01:02.000,00:01:04.667
and incorporate them in an emissions trading system
00:01:04.667,00:01:07.625
which is designed to put a cap on emissions,
00:01:07.625,00:01:09.583
[TEXT: Emissions Cap]
00:01:09.583,00:01:12.958
which they have done in Shenzhen and other places in China,
00:01:12.958,00:01:17.708
and then figure out how do you meet those controlled levels of
carbon
00:01:17.708,00:01:21.958
and reduce levels of carbon in the most economically efficient way,
00:01:21.958,00:01:27.125
so allow everybody to participate in the hunt for carbon reductions.
00:01:27.125,00:01:30.250
[Kerry:] We have the Shanghai transportation division
00:01:30.250,00:01:33.417
partnering with the Los Angeles port authority to find a way
00:01:33.417,00:01:36.792
to reduce the emissions of ships when they’re in port,
00:01:36.792,00:01:41.875
so we can have a major reduction in emissions as a result of just
that kind of small effort.
00:01:41.875,00:01:45.833
[Mahajan:] These are small projects but could have a major,
major impact
00:01:45.833,00:01:48.292
on the climate change issues.
00:01:48.292,00:01:51.333
[Krupp:] By problem solving together, by working together,
00:01:51.333,00:01:55.083
we’re coming up with answers that hopefully will be helpful in China
00:01:55.083,00:02:02.250
and I hope will be helpful in the United States and other places
around the world as well.
