The six EcoPartnerships include ties between Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission and the Port of Los Angeles; Tianjin Economic Technological Development Area and the Commerce Department of Philadelphia; Shenzhen Low-carbon Development Foundation and the Environmental Defense Fund; the Institute of Science and Technology for Development, Shandong, and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab; Harbin Electric Corp and GE; and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp and Sapphire Energy.
The EcoPartnership program is a collaborative effort between the two sides that was established in 2008 under the first S&ED talks.
