The Border Environment Cooperation Commission (BECC) is a binational organization established in 1994 to address environmental issues along the U.S.-Mexico border. It aims to improve the quality of life for communities in this region by promoting sustainable development and environmental protection. The BECC works on projects related to water, air quality, and waste management, ensuring that both countries collaborate effectively. The BECC operates in conjunction with the North American Development Bank (NADB), which provides financial support for environmental projects. Together, they focus on enhancing public health and environmental conditions, fostering cooperation between the two nations to tackle shared challenges in the border area.
