An overview of CBCGDF’s exchanges with the Arab countries

By LI Lihong

Abstract: Characterized by non-government, non-profit, public welfare and independence, social organizations have always played an important and active role in international exchanges and cooperation. Since China implemented the reform and opening-up policy, government departments have always actively encouraged social organizations to “go out”, to actively participate in international dialogues and make contribution to the construction of a shared future for all life on Earth. This article takes the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), a representative and professional social organization in China’s ecological environment protection field, as an example, and focuses on sorting out the international cooperation and exchange projects it has carried out with the Arab countries, to present the active role and effect of the social organizations in promoting global ecological environment governance and mutual trust among peoples.

Key words: Sino-Arab Cooperation, social organization, global environmental governance, A Shared Future for All Life on Earth
