Erik Solheim, UN Environment executive director, said China leads a great number of environmental inspirations in the world with its eco-civilization, and can share with the rest of the world the best practices in protecting ecosystems and curbing pollution.

Some of China's practices that can be valuable to the rest of the world include the development of metro systems, electric vehicles, and economical and effective solar systems, as well as its achievements in fighting deforestation and desertification, such as the greening of Saihanba in Hebei and the Kubuqi desert in Inner Mongolia, he said.
