China's forestry success highlighted in climate change conference

Xinhua, November 10, 2016 Adjust font size:

China's pavilion kicks off Wednesday at the ongoing COP22 in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh, highlighting China's forestry success story.

The first side event in the Chinese pavilion was co-organized by China's National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic planner, and China Green Carbon Foundation, with support by international organizations like the World Wildlife Fund.

Combining with domestic and international partners, China Green Carbon Foundation told China's forestry story, which shows the successful experience of China's forestry reform and innovation as well as foreign positive cases to benefit more developing countries on forestry development.

It served as a great platform for the world forestry workers to exchange good experiences and ideas, and contribute to address global climate change and improve human being welfare.

The COP 22, held in Marrakech from Nov. 7 to 18, will focus on action items in order to implement the priorities of the Paris Agreement, especially those related to adaptation, transparency, technology transfer, mitigation, capacity building and loss and damages.

Around 20,000 delegates, 30,000 civil society members from some 200 countries are gathering at the 11-day climate change conference. Endit
