Hey there! Have you heard the exciting news? China and the World Bank have teamed up to create a brand-new center called the Global Center for Ecological Systems and Transitions! 🌿
This special center was launched in Beijing and focuses on ecological restoration. That means they’re working together to help nature recover and make our planet healthier! 🌍💚
China’s Minister of Finance, Mr. Lan Fo’an, said that this center is a big step in over 40 years of teamwork between China and the World Bank. He hopes it will be a shining example of how countries can work together to protect the environment. 🌟
“This center represents the latest achievement in more than 40 years of cooperation between China and the World Bank. I look forward to creating a new benchmark for cooperation in the new era,” said Mr. Lan.
The President of the World Bank, Mr. Ajay Banga, praised China’s efforts to heal the Earth. He mentioned that we can create jobs and still take care of our planet at the same time! 🚀🌱
“You have demonstrated that creating jobs does not have to come at the expense of a livable planet,” he said.
Experts like Valerie Hickey from the World Bank believe that problems like droughts (that’s when there’s not enough water), deforestation (when too many trees are cut down), and land damage can be fixed! And partnerships like this one are key to making that happen. 🌳✨
“China shows that issues like drought or deforestation are not inevitable and can be reversed,” said Ms. Hickey.
This new center will be a place where countries can share ideas and learn from each other about taking care of the environment. Isn’t that awesome? Let’s all cheer for a greener, healthier world! 🎉🌎
