“独联体”于1991年12月21日前苏联解体时正式成立，在决定成立独联体时，成员国将它设计成一个单纯为发展成员合作提供服务的机构，但是独联体的功能定位和制度设计同成员对它的期待之间存在巨大落差，于是近年来人们愈加关注独联体能否继续维系。本文首先介绍了独联体的合作机制概况，包括组织机构、合作领域两个方面。其次介绍了独联体内的环保合作概况，包括环保重点合作领域、已签署的环保合作协议两个部分。其中，环保重点领域包括跨境污染治理、协调成员国环保法律和标准、建立环保数据库3个部分；而截止2015年初，已签署的合作协议主要有6份。
The CIS was formally established in December 21, 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed. In the decision to establish CIS, the member states designed it as a simple organization providing services for the development of members. But the functional orientation of the CIS and the design of the system have a huge gap between the expectations of its members, so in recent years, people are increasingly concerned about whether the CIS can continue to maintain. This article firstly introduces the general situation of the cooperation mechanism of CIS, including the two aspects of organization structure and cooperation aspects; then introduces the overview of environmental cooperation in the CIS, including environmental protection cooperation agreement has been signed and the key areas of cooperation.
