Cooperation on Environmental Protection 五、环保合作
60. Air Quality Action Plan:
Following up on more than a decade of collaboration on air quality, decided to
cooperate to accelerate longer-term sustainable improvements in air quality.
This work builds on continuing collaboration to share strategies and
information on power plant technologies, practices, and incentives to
cost-effectively reduce multiple air pollutants. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), USTDA, and Ministry of Environment Protection (MEP) are further
enhancing the cooperation in regional air quality management by including
treatment of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) for controlling ozone and
collaborating on a project to develop a model air quality plan that shares best
practices of U.S. cities and states and fosters deployment of U.S. pollution
control expertise and technologies in a selected province. In addition, EPA,
USTDA, and MEP can enhance cooperation in air quality monitoring, early warning
and forecast development of air quality models, and quality control and
assurance of related monitoring technologies.

third seminars in May and December of 2012, respectively, and have decided to
hold a 4th Environmental Legislation seminar in late 2013. These seminars have
been a strong collaboration mechanism for in-depth and effective communication
on a range of issues. The sharing of experience between the two sides on
environmental legislation has already become a crucial component of U.S.-China
environmental cooperation.
63、环境法律与制度：2011年11月17-18日，中美环境立法第一次研讨会在北京召开，标志着中国环境保护部与美国环境保护署在中美环境合作谅解备忘录附件6“环境法律与制度”下正式开展合作。2012年5月和12月分别召开了第二次、第三次研讨会，并决定在2013年底召开第四次研讨会。这些研讨会已形成中美之间就一系列问题进行深入、有效沟通的强有力合作机制。中美环境立法交流与经验分享已经成为中美环境合作的重要内容。
64. Environmental Adjudication,
Courts, and Related Institutions: Strengthened cooperation and collaboration in
the field of environmental protection. Through a USAID-funded program, the
U.S.-China Partnership for Environmental Law at Vermont Law School and the EPA
collaborated with the National Judges College to train fifteen judges on
environmental adjudication and to develop an environmental law curriculum that
will be used to train judges from across China. The EPA also collaborated with
Chinese judges on two environmental law study tours to the United States in
2012 and plans to collaborate with China Maritime Court Judges on a study tour
in 2013.
