Environmental Special: Norway and China cooperate on environment

China and Norway linked up for a seminar on environmental protection on March 8, which is the kick-off of the Sino-Norwegian Project on Competence Building on Environmental Management.

The seminar was the result of an agreement signed on April 30 last year, which outlined the Competence Building Project (CBP). This project will be implemented by the Foreign Economic Cooperation Office (FECO) under the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and the Climate and Pollution Agency (Klif) under the Norwegian Ministry of the Environment.

Klif is responsible for coordinating the inputs of three other Norwegian organizations: the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management (DN), the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) and the Norwegian Foundation for Scientific & Industrial Research (SINTEF).
