Shanghai’s Tongji University and the United Nations Environment Programme have agreed to jointly run an ecology and sustainable development institute in Shanghai, said Shanghai Daily. The institute will be a national centre for research and training in environmental protection and it will oversee projects such as monitoring the impact of the Three Gorges Dam and testing methods to stop the sandstorms that threaten Beijing.
A UNEP official said that his office would help the institute to attract funding for its projects from the World Bank and global environmental groups.
