Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang has rallied nations to join forces in protecting tropical rainforests, calling it a 'common cause for humanity' at a high-profile international event in Brazil. 🌱 Representing President Xi Jinping, Ding emphasized China's commitment to balancing ecological protection with sustainable development during the 'Tropical Forests Forever Facility' luncheon hosted by Brazilian President Lula.
💡 Highlighting China's recent efforts, Ding pointed to the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park as a model success story—where strict conservation policies and tech investments boosted both biodiversity and local livelihoods. 'Rainforests aren’t just trees—they’re our planet’s life support system,' he stated.
🌐 The vice premier urged developed countries to step up funding for deforestation reduction in the Global South under UN climate frameworks. Meanwhile, China pledged to expand partnerships through new multilateral platforms. Leaders from France, the DPRK, Colombia, and the UN backed the push, signaling rare cross-regional alignment on climate action.
🚀 With wildfires and deforestation making headlines worldwide, this call for teamwork couldn’t be timelier. As Gen Z’s favorite eco-activist Greta Thunberg might say: 'No one is too small to make a difference'—but now, it’s governments’ turn to level up.
