China to step up tree planting campaign to help reach net zero
The Peninsula
SHANGHAI: China will plant 36,000 square kilometres of new forest a year - more than the total area of Belgium - from this year to 2025 as it bids to combat climate change and better protect natural habitats, a senior forestry official said on Friday.
Tree planting has been at the heart of China's environmental efforts for decades and is a major part of plans to bring carbon emissions down to net zero by 2060. Li Chunliang, vice-chairman of the State Forestry and Grasslands Commission, told a press briefing large-scale "land greening" programmes would complete 54 million mu (36,000 sq km) of afforestation every year through 2025.
