Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs Paula Dobriansky announced funding, September 18th, for 8 newly selected clean development and climate projects in China. The projects are part of the United States Government's support for the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate. Worth more than $6,700,000, the projects will implement clean energy work in China under the goals of the initiative.
Grant recipients include World Resources Institute-Tsinghua University, ICF International, Hatch Associated Consultants Inc., the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest Laboratory, the National Fenestration Rating Council-The Research Institute of Standards and Norms, and WADE Foundation. Each organization will contribute matching funds and resources for a total cost share of over $8,000,000.

Working with the Asia-Pacific Partnership and other partners across the globe, the U.S. remains committed to supporting clean and sustainable energy for all peoples.
