Middle East - North Africa Pollution Prevention/Cleaner Production/Sustainable Consumption and Production Roundtable

The National Pollution Prevention Rountable (NPPR) in cooperation with the US State Department, the US Environmental Protection Agency and other notable stakeholders in the area, is partaking in an effort to institute a Middle East - North Africa Pollution Prevention/Cleaner Production/Sustainable Consumption and Production Rountable (The MENA P2/CP/SCPR Roundtable).

The purpose of the Roundtable is to improve environmental protection activities in the Middle East and North Africa through enhanced knowledge of pollution prevention and cleaner production concepts, information, and programs by establishing a network and forum where the MENA countries can share information, experiences, and lessons learned, and foster a dialogue between government, non-government and industrial entities.
