Grant 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, $300,000 USD from the China Trust Fund was allocated to the South-South Cooperation: Investing in a Green Silk Road Project (T3-P6) (p. 71). This project took place in China, Mongolia, and unspecified Central Asian countries. It began in March 2015 and ended in September 2016.
