Desertification Control in China

The document outlines China's 60-year effort to manage desertified lands, particularly in northern China, through a combination of government policies, forestry programmes, and eco-industrialization. Key interventions such as afforestation and water conservation have helped restore arid and semi-arid ecosystems.

• Over the last 60 years, China has integrated government policies, forestry and desertification control programmes, and eco-industrialization development to combat desertification in the northern part of the country.
• Specific interventions, including water conservation, afforestation, and the rehabilitation of mobile sandy lands, have helped return semi-arid and arid ecosystems to a more balanced state.
