NATO CCMS PILOT STUDY - CLEAN PRODUCTS AND PROCESSES, NATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT RESEARCH LABORATORY
Citation:
Description:
The Committee on the Challenges to Modern Society (CCMS) was established by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1969. The mission of CCMS is to develop meaningful programs to share information among countries on important environmental and societal issues that complement other international efforts and to provide leadership in solving specific problems facing modern society. A fundamental role for CCMS is the transfer of technological and scientific solutions among nations facing similar environmental challenges. The United States, represented by EPA's National Risk Management Research Laboratory, established and is leading this CCMS pilot study on Clean Products and Processes to create an international forum for open discussion on applying cleaner industrial processes and producing cleaner products around the globe. By discussing, debating, and sharing current trends, developments, and expertise in the use of cleaner technologies and production of cleaner products, it is hoped that this pilot study will stimulate productive interactions among international experts, with the end result being effective technology transfer.
