Border Environment Cooperation Commission

The BECC is a U.S.-Mexican binational commission intended to facilitate
border environmental clean-up and to provide additional support for
community adjustment and investment related to the North American Free
Trade Agreement. The BECC will assist border states and local communities
in coordinating, designing, and financing environmental infrastructure
projects with cross-border impact. To be eligible, projects must observe
the environmental laws for the place where the project is located or
carried out. The BECC will certify projects to the North American
Development Bank (NADBank) and will seek to mobilize financing from the
NADBank, federal, state, and local grants, loans, and guarantees, and the
private sector.
