The Kubuqi desertification prevention model reflects the Chinese government’s emphasis on environmental governance and sandstorm control, which provides a useful reference for the rest of the world, a representative from Nigeria said.

A group of events such as the exhibition of Combating Desertification in China, the Ordos International Desert & Grassland Industry Expo 2017, the UNCCD COP13 Youth Forum, and the high-level segment of the conference were held during the 10-day event.
