IES, Japan's Ministry of Environment, and the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies held a workshop in Washington, D.C. on March 5-6 to examine co-benefit issues in greater technical depth. The workshop explored applications of co-benefits opportunities in policymaking, the potential for expanding the co-benefits approach to new sectors, and avenues for future cooperation between the U.S. and Japan on co-benefits. As a result of this meeting, EPA and Japan's Ministry of Environment (MOEJ) have signed a Statement of Intent for collaboration on co-benefits research and promotion.
