Jointly initiated by China and the United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment), the coalition aims to facilitate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through the green construction of Belt and Road.
UN Environment Executive Director Erik Solheim said that China's successful experience in green development can be shared with other countries through dialogue and exchange, which is also the significance of the coalition.
