  Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate
The Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate is an initiative set up in July 2005 by Australia, Canada, PRC, India, Japan, Republic of Korea (Korea), and the US. The partnership aims to cooperate on addressing issues of energy needs and security, air pollution, and climate change. APP main goal is to accelerate the use of more energy efficient and cleaner technologies and mitigate climate change without undermining economic development. AAP has approved eight public-private sector task forces covering aluminum, buildings and appliances, cement, cleaner fossil energy, coal mining, power generation and transmission, renewable energy and distributed generation, and steel. Each task force will identify clean development and environmental issues and build action plans for both immediate and medium-term activities.
