For generations, diligent and wise Chinese people have been planting trees, building forests and implementing sand prevention and control measures, constructing a "Green Great Wall" in 13 northern provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, achieving remarkable accomplishments. In the past decade, sandy and dusty weather in northern China has decreased by 30 percent compared to the previous decade.
几代勤劳智慧的中国人植树造林、防沙治沙，在北方13个省、市、自治区建起一道“绿色长城”，取得举世瞩目的成就。近10年，我国北方地区沙尘天气比上个10年减少了30%。
Since the initiation of the Three-North Shelterbelt Program in 1978, a total of 31.74 million hectares of forest has been planted and conserved. The forest coverage in the project area has increased from 5.05 percent in 1977 to the current 13.84 percent.
“三北防护林”工程建设自1978年启动实施以来，累计完成造林保存面积3174万公顷，工程区森林覆盖率由1977年的5.05%提高到现在的13.84%。
China's forest coverage and stock volume have maintained "double growth" for 40 consecutive years, with the area of planted forests ranking first in the world, making China the country with the most significant increase in greenery globally.
中国森林覆盖率和蓄积量连续40年保持“双增长”，人工林面积居世界首位，成为全球增绿最多的国家。
The area of land affected by desertification in China has shifted from an annual average expansion of 343,600 hectares at the end of the 20th century to an annual average reduction of 667,000 hectares now, achieving a continuous net decrease in desertified land area over 20 years.
中国沙化土地面积由20世纪末的年均扩展34.36万公顷转变为现在的年均缩减66.70万公顷，实现了沙化土地面积20年持续净减少。
Barron Joseph Orr, chief scientist of UNCCD, said: "China has made significant strides in sand control and green development, yet this progress remains largely unknown to many around the globe. It is crucial to present the comprehensive narrative of China's history and accomplishments."
《联合国防治荒漠化公约》首席科学家巴伦·约瑟夫·奥尔说：“中国在沙漠治理和绿色发展方面取得了显著进展，然而这一进步在全球许多人中仍然鲜为人知。向世界展示中国历史和成就的全面叙述至关重要。”
"Scientists in China have taken on issues that in the past seem to be very difficult to solve." In technology such as soil implements that reduce erode, "China is very strong in this regard in terms of how that's applicable elsewhere."
“中国的科学家们已经解决了过去看起来非常难以解决的问题。”在发明工具减少受侵蚀的土壤等技术方面，“中国非常强大，这些技术在世界上其他地方也是适用的。”
"The design and headlines (of the China Daily newspaper) are captivating and impactful. It's powerful... This serves as a valuable gateway for the world to gain deeper insights into China, particularly its technological and scientific advancements in combating desertification," he said.

老一辈治沙人坚定不移的治沙精神让她十分感动，中国荒漠化防治产生的经济效益也让她印象深刻。在“三北”工程中，各地利用沙区独特资源发展传统中药材、优质饲草、林果、沙漠旅游等产业，促进了当地的乡村振兴。
"So the China model is really showing that you can have development with these green ways," she said.
“所以中国模式还告诉我们，可以通过这些绿色方式实现经济发展。”她说。
