Founded in 2007, the Kubuqi International Desert Forum is the world's only large-scale international forum dedicated to combating desertification and advancing the green economy.

Over the past nine sessions, it has become a key platform for showcasing China's achievements in desertification control, strengthening global cooperation, and supporting the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative.

This year's forum aims to foster international exchanges on desertification control and ecological civilization, share China's experience, and contribute to building a community with a shared future for humanity.
