During the GMGSF, CBCGDF representatives clearly observed a significant reduction in the scale of the use of paper cups in the venue, and many representatives of countries and organizations responded positively to the UNEA's request to bring their own water bottles, their own lanyards, and adopt a paperless way of accessing event materials and information. The CBCGDF has long been committed to green development and would like to call on all sectors of the community to join the green conference and reduce the use of disposable paper cups and bottled water.

GMGSF 20 provides an opportunity for representatives of major groups and stakeholders accredited by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to prepare statements and inputs in the process of the UNEA-6, including the formal sessions and negotiations taking place in the General Assembly. GMGSF 20 provides an open and participatory platform for civil society engagement and serves as a platform for major groups and stakeholders to contribute to the UN Environment Assembly. GMGSF 20 provides an open platform for civil society engagement and serves as a preparatory meeting for major groups and stakeholders for the UNEA-6, with the theme of "effective, inclusive and sustainable multilateral actions to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.".

Dr. Zhou Jinfeng found that Asian participation in this global multi-stakeholder environmental forum is relatively low. He expressed his hope that more people from Asia, especially China, would participate in the future and actively contribute Asian perspectives to the global environmental dialogue.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
