China to step up tree planting campaign to help reach net zero

中国加强植树造林运动，有助于达到净零排放

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.

为应对气候变化并更好地保护自然栖息地，从今年到2025年，中国每年新增的造林面积将达3.6万平方公里——超过比利时国土的总面积

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.

数十年来，植树造林一直处于中国环境保护努力的核心位置，也是中国计划到2060年将碳排放降到净零排放的重要组成部分。

Li Chunliang, vice-chairman of the state Fforestry 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.

"By 2035, the quality and stability of national forest, grassland, wetland and desert ecosystems will have been comprehensively upgraded," Li added

中国国家林业和草原局副局长李春良周五在新闻发布会上表示，要推进大规模国土绿化行动，到2025年每年将完成造林5400万亩（约合3.6万平方公里）。

他说，到2035年全中国的森林、草原、湿地、荒漠生态系统的质量和稳定性将全面提升

China aims to raise its overall forest coverage rate to 24.1% by the end of 2025 from 23.04% at the end of last year, according to its forest and grassland five-year plan published this week.

根据本周发布的《中国森林和草原保护发展五年规划》，到2025年底，中国森林总体覆盖率将从去年底的23.04%提高到24.1%。

Indian government should also take up re-forestation and make it compulsory for students and public sector employees to plant atleast 2 saplings each ....and care for those saplings for 2-3 years atleast.

印度政府也应该重新造林，强制学生和公共部门员工每人在至少种植两棵树苗，至少要照顾这些树苗2-3年。
