As countries around the world search for practical ways to balance economic growth with environmental protection, China's southwestern province of Guizhou is putting its latest practices on display.
From July 4 to 6, the Symposium 2026 for Eco Forum Global Guiyang, with the theme "From Consensus to Practice – Guizhou's Response to the Global Agenda," brought international participants out of the conference room and into forests, rivers and villages, showcasing how ecological restoration and green development are being carried out on the ground. Instead of limiting discussions to presentations and panels, organizers designed field visits first, followed by roundtable dialogue, underscoring a simple idea: environmental consensus is strongest when it is rooted in practice.
