2011年恰逢斯德哥尔摩公约十周年和清华百年，巴塞尔、鹿特丹和斯德哥尔摩公约联合执行秘书Jim Willis先生特撰文庆贺这两大盛事。这篇题为“Stockholm at 10, Tsinghua University at 100”的文章发布在巴塞尔公约和斯德哥尔摩公约秘书处网站首页上。
文中称，2011年清华大学环境学院成立，其主办的巴塞尔公约亚太地区协调中心和斯德哥尔摩公约亚太地区能力建设与技术转让中心（以下简称“亚太中心”）在李金惠教授及其团队的努力下，在促进信息交换和意识提高方面也取得了很大成就。李金惠教授个人还获得了2011斯德哥尔摩公约多氯联苯消除网络信息奖。
Jim Willis先生期盼亚太中心继续引领信息交换，他相信，成长在清华园肥沃的土壤中，清华大学和亚太中心必将在废物和化学品环境无害化管理协同增效方面取得更优异的成就。

Stockholm at 10, Tsinghua University at 100
This year the Parties to the Stockholm Convention are proudly celebrating the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention in May 2001, a signal achievement in our global effort to protect human health and the environment from hazardous chemicals.
Two-thousand and eleven marks another noteworthy anniversary, the centenary of the founding of Tsinghua University in 1911 on the site of “Qing Hua Yuan (Tsinghua Garden)” — a former royal garden of the Qing Dynasty situated northwest of Beijing.
In 2011, Tsinghua University opened the doors to the newly established School of Environment, which now serves as host to the Basel Convention Coordinating Centre for Training and Technology Transfer for the Asia and Pacific region (BCRC-China), and the Stockholm Convention Regional Centre for Capacity-building and the Transfer of Technology in Asia and the Pacific.
The Basel and Stockholm regional centres at Tsinghua are led at the School by Prof. Jinhui Li, a leading expert on chemical and waste management.
As information dissemination is one of the main functions of regional centres, Prof. Jinhui Li and his team have worked hard to promote information exchange and public awareness. For his efforts, Prof. Li’s was recognized this year with the Stockholm Secretariat’s PCBs Elimination Network (PEN) Award as the PEN “Information Champion”.
The honors bestowed on Prof. Li for his team’s contribution were determined by means of popular electronic voting facilitated over the internet through the Secretariat’s new POPs Social platform.
POPs Social is the important web platform for stakeholders working on problems related to hazardous chemicals and waste. It serves to link the regional centres and the Convention’s other stakeholders to a global community of expert knowledge.
Through information sharing and discussion, POPs Social and its sister platform PIC Social serve as an electric library and database, including information and commentary. The regional centres at Tsinghua University can use POPs and PIC Social to promote their work on regional implementation of the conventions.
As we celebrate the achievements of the past century and decade, we look forward to the Basel and Stockholm centres at Tsinghua University continuing to lead in information exchange and outreach using new social media.
In the century ahead, Tsinghua University will demonstrate that synergies in the field of sound management of chemicals and waste have found a most fertile ground in the gardens of Tsinghua.
