The Earth is the only home on which humanity relies for survival, and protecting the ecological environment and promoting sustainable development is the common responsibility of all countries.
Promoting harmonious coexistence between humans and nature
Reports such as "Peaceful Coexistence with Nature" released by international organizations warn that the period from 2011 to 2020 was the warmest decade on meteorological records, and about one million species of flora and fauna worldwide were threatened with extinction... The Earth's homeland is facing a crisis.
Taking the lead in proposing and implementing the ecological protection red line system, promoting the construction of the world's largest national park system, with the world's largest growth in forest resources and the largest artificial afforestation area, the fastest improvement rate of air quality, and the largest number of "international wetland cities" selected globally... To care for the common home of the earth for all mankind, China contributes one after another of the world's greatest achievements.

China has persistently and scientifically carried out large-scale land greening actions, taking the lead in achieving zero growth in land degradation worldwide, and has played a positive role in achieving the global goal of zero growth in land degradation by 2030. UN Secretary General Guterres highly praised this.
At the same time, China strengthens biodiversity conservation through bilateral and multilateral cooperation, fulfilling China's promise of jointly building a better home - collaborating with Russia to protect the Northeast tiger, and the number of tiger "cross-border trips" is increasing; The Crested Ibis crossed over to Japan, giving the local Crested Ibis a new "lucky bird" after facing the crisis of extinction; Collaborate with Uzbekistan to build a global onion garden for the conservation and research of onion plant germplasm resources worldwide.

China actively fulfills relevant international conventions, leads the global ecological and environmental protection process, and works together with people from all countries to build a harmonious and beautiful world for all things.
Promote the coordinated progress of economy and environment
How to achieve high-quality human development while respecting, adapting to, and protecting nature? How to handle the relationship between economic development and environmental protection well?

As the world's largest developing country, facing the basic national situation of coal dominated energy structure, China will achieve the world's highest carbon emission intensity reduction, and achieve carbon peak to carbon neutrality in the shortest time in global history.
Achieving this goal requires an extremely arduous effort.
Nowadays, China has become one of the countries with the fastest reduction in energy consumption intensity in the world. The installed capacity of renewable energy, represented by hydropower, wind power, and photovoltaic power generation, has steadily ranked first in the world. The installed capacity of non fossil energy power generation accounts for more than 50%, and the production of new energy vehicles has exceeded 20 million units.

According to the White Paper on China's Green Development in the New Era, from 2011 to 2020, the total number of environmental technology invention patent applications in China reached nearly 60% of the world, making it the country with the most active layout in environmental technology innovation globally.
"China has achieved positive results in addressing climate change and has made significant progress in multiple sustainable development goals, providing developing countries with an economic development path, which is a win-win path for economic development and ecological environment protection, and striving to achieve harmonious coexistence between humans and nature." Xia Zehan, representative of the UNESCO Representative Office in China, believes that China's green and low-carbon development will accelerate the global green transformation and provide important reference for global sustainable development.
Promoting common development among countries around the world
In the distant Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea, a magical grass is already well-known: it can not only sequester carbon, but also green the ground, improve soil erosion, and replace trees to cultivate fungi, solving the problem of the "mushroom forest contradiction" in the past development of the mushroom industry.
This is the mushroom grass that came from China, known as the "happiness grass" by local residents.
Chinese mycorrhizal scientists and African international students exchange their experience in mycorrhizal cultivation.
Nowadays, the mushroom grass technology has been promoted to 8 provinces and 16 regions in Papua New Guinea, benefiting more than 8600 households. The mushroom and grass industry has also become the second pillar industry in the local area after coffee. In Fiji, using mycorrhizal fungi as feed significantly reduces the mortality rate of cattle and sheep during the dry season. In Rwanda, the fungus technology has doubled the income of more than 30000 local farmers... Local residents in many countries along the "the Belt and Road" have embarked on the road to get rid of poverty due to fungus technology.
China has been taking action to make green the background of the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" and continue to benefit the people of the country.
During the construction of the China Laos Railway, the designers have issued more than 60 plans to study the total length of the line, which is about 14000 kilometers. The line avoids nature reserves and environmental sensitive points, and environmental protection and low-carbon become the characteristics of 43 stations along the line; In the Terai Plain in southern Nepal, China's green fertilizer pilot zone has helped to increase wheat and other crops by up to 400%... As of May 30, China has jointly launched the "the Belt and Road" green development partnership initiative with 31 co construction countries, and jointly established the "the Belt and Road" energy cooperation partnership with 32 co construction countries.

China adheres to the concept of "teaching people how to fish", and through a series of visible, tangible, and effective cooperation achievements, we aim to make development achievements and a good ecosystem more equitable and beneficial to people of all countries.
All things are nurtured together without harming each other, and the Tao runs parallel without contradicting each other. The Earth is the common home of humanity, and the prosperity of ecology leads to the prosperity of civilization.
As an important participant, contributor, and leader in the construction of global ecological civilization, China cooperates with the world to explore the development direction of new forms of human civilization, jointly build a community of life on Earth, and seek the path of global ecological civilization, making new and greater contributions to achieving a better future for humanity and the earth.
