FOREWORD
Throughout 3 decades of our collaborative journey, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have sought to balance economic progress with environmental sustainability. The country’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 and the renewed focus on green development in the 14th Five-Year Plan bring even greater focus on the need for collective action for nature-positive recovery.
This report shares the narrative of the PRC’s efforts to promote green development and ecological restoration as well as accomplishments resulting from its partnership with ADB.
A nature-positive recovery can provide opportunities for economic growth, societal well-being, biodiversity protection, and climate stabilization. This publication traces how, over the years, the PRC has adopted valuable experimentation and piloting to create new tools for advancing green growth, eco-efficiency, protection of nature, pollution control, and use of information technology and digitalization.

In line with the ADB–PRC partnership on rural vitalization, ADB is introducing climate-smart farming practices in the Yangtze River Basin to increase production, avoid environmental degradation, and enhance the skills of farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural technologies. ADB is also transforming cities to become greener and more livable through integrated, low-carbon
