The Environmental Cooperation Agreement (ECA) among the United States, Mexico and Canada was recently completed in parallel with United States of America, United States of Mexico, and Canada (USMCA) trade negotiations.  The ECA signing will be completed in December, 2018; the version below is unsigned.  The ECA will take effect upon entry into force of the USMCA.

Under the ECA, the United States, Mexico and Canada will cooperate to reduce pollution, strengthen environmental governance, conserve biological diversity, and sustainably manage natural resources. The new ECA will modernize and enhance trilateral cooperation, including by supporting implementation of the environment commitments in the USMCA.
