1. Greenhouse gas inventory
気候変動分野におけるキャパビルに関するメモランダム。当初は中国におけるインベントリー作成に焦点を置く。この項目だけは、DoEではなくUS-EPAが米側の当事者（カウンターパートは国家発展展改革委員会）。
2. Joint clean energy research center
clean energy技術に関する共同研究施設の設置について。もともと7月に発表されていたが、今回、より具体化。設置当初の焦点は、省エネでクリーンな石炭火力発電技術（CCS含む）とclean vehicleに置かれる予定。
3. Electric vehicles
共通基準の開発、実証実験プロジェクトの実施、etc.
4. Energy efficiency
省エネ建物基準及び同評価システムの開発、産業別ベンチマークの設定、省エネ試験手続きの調和、etc.
5. Renewable energy
ロードマップの策定、地方政府間での協力。
6. 21st century coal
CCS技術の開発、Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant技術の開発、etc.
7. Shale gas
アメリカの技術を用いた中国国内におけるshale gas採掘の開発。
8. Nuclear
不拡散のリスクに配慮しつつ、国際合意に即したかたちでの、核技術の商業利用を促進。
9. Public-private partnerships on clean energy
U.S.-China Energy Cooperation Program (ECP) をベースにした民間ベースでの協力の促進。予定されるプロジェクトの実施分野は、“renewable energy, smart grid, clean transportation, green building, clean coal, combined heat and power, and energy efficiency.”
8日のエントリーで書いた“A Roadmap for U.S.-China Collaboration on Carbon Capture and Sequestration”（by Asia Society & Center for American Progress）の内容も色濃く反映されていると言える。この分野における米中の協力政策は、今後も、Asia Societyが引っ張っていくということなのだろう。
以下、共同宣言からの抜粋（強調はblog筆者）。
Regarding the upcoming Copenhagen Conference, both sides agree on the importance of actively furthering the full, effective and sustained implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in accordance with the Bali Action Plan. The United States and China, consistent with their national circumstances, resolve to take significant mitigation actions and recognize the important role that their countries play in promoting a sustainable outcome that will strengthen the world’s ability to combat climate change. The two sides resolve to stand behind these commitments.
In this context both sides believe that, while striving for final legal agreement, an agreed outcome at Copenhagen should, based on the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, include emission reduction targets of developed countries and nationally appropriate mitigation actions of developing countries. The outcome should also substantially scale up financial assistance to developing countries, promote technology development, dissemination and transfer, pay particular attention to the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable to adapt to climate change, promote steps to preserve and enhance forests, and provide for full transparency with respect to the implementation of mitigation measures and provision of financial, technology, and capacity building support.
