Approximately 50 percent of U.S. oil imports come from the Americas. At the Fifth Summit of the Americas (April 2009), President Obama invited all countries of the Western Hemisphere to deepen cooperation on energy and climate change, by launching the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas. Peru recently hosted a follow-up symposium to discuss cooperation on energy and climate change, two of the most critical issues facing our region.
The political boundaries of nations cross natural boundaries such as watersheds, habitats, and airsheds. How countries protect their environment has a significant impact not only at home but around the world.
EPA’s work extends from North America to Africa to Asia and the Pacific Islands, on topics such as air pollution, climate, safe drinking water, and protection from toxic pollution. EPA is working around the world to protect the health of Americans and our global neighbors.
