Bulletin Reveals China’s Eco-Journey
China’s Ministry of Natural Resources dropped the 2024 National Ecological Protection and Restoration Bulletin at the opening ceremony. The report highlights 75 years of eco-restoration efforts, from policy frameworks to China’s role in global green initiatives. Think of it as a *highlight reel* of sustainability wins 🏆!
Blue Synergy for a Shared Future
Under the theme “Blue Synergy for a Shared Future: One Sustainable and Resilient Ocean,” the congress features 30+ sessions on the blue economy, marine tech showcases, and a cultural festival. Xiamen even scored the “Best Practice in Marine Ecological Conservation” award for its trailblazing eco-restoration model 💡.
Three Proposals for Ocean Action
At the event, Shen Yueyue from the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference pitched three big ideas: using oceans to build global peace (🌊→🕊️), boosting sustainable development (💼→🌱), and advancing ecological civilization through marine conservation. Talk about goals!
With exhibitions, investment forums, and global networking, the congress is a hub for ocean advocates, from scientists to entrepreneurs. Stay tuned as Xiamen rides the wave of eco-innovation 🌐✨.
