Bi-National Policy Fora

Policy Forums meet annually, concentrating on specific policy issues that require an ongoing dialogue between both countries. These forums identify, prioritize and address and resolve border-wide, binational, federal policy issues and target resources for regionally-based projects that emphasize pollution prevention. Policy Forums are guided by the priorities of their respective nations, the needs identified by Regional and Border-wide Workgroups and, in some cases, address Task Force and project efforts. Each Policy Forum has a federal co-chair located at EPA and SEMARNAT headquarters.
