The annual Global Eco-Forum opening on July 19 in Guiyang, capital of Guizhou province, will provide great opportunities to boost the city's sustainability and overall development, say local officials.

Themed with "green revolution and transformation", the national-level forum "is sure to raise the public awareness of environmental protection", said Li Jun, deputy Party chief of Guizhou.

"It will also help reshape Guiyang's industrial structure and the implementation of green policies," Li said.
