In Section 2 of the MOU, the governments establish the Joint Forum to coordinate and review environmental cooperation activities. As envisioned in the MOU, the Joint Forum will ‘‘develop a Plan of Action; review and assess cooperative environmental activities undertaken pursuant to the Plan of Action; recommend ways to improve cooperation; and undertake such other activities as the Governments may deem to be appropriate.’’ The Plan of Action is a tool to establish goals, objectives, and areas for cooperation, including short-, medium-, and long-term bilateral and/or regional projects and activities.
