The Asia-Pacific Partnership for Clean Development and Climate (APPCDC) was a group of countries that wanted to work together to find ways to protect the environment and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the air. This group was made up of Australia, Canada, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the United States.
The APPCDC believed that if they worked together, they could come up with new ideas and share technologies for making things like cars, factories, and power plants more efficient and less polluting. They also wanted to encourage the use of cleaner energy sources, like wind and solar power, instead of relying on things like coal or oil.
By reducing greenhouse gases, the APPCDC hoped to slow down the effects of climate change, such as rising temperatures and sea levels. This would help protect the environment and make the world a safer place for everyone.
Unfortunately, the APPCDC is no longer active, but many of its goals continue to be pursued by individual countries, companies, and organizations around the world.
