China has reduced desertified land by 4.3 million hectares since 2012, aiming for "land degradation neutrality" by 2030.

China has made significant strides in combating desertification, managing 53% of treatable desert land and reducing desertified land by 4.3 million hectares since 2012. The Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program has played a key role, helping control over 45% of desertified land and managing about 61% of soil erosion areas. China aims to achieve "land degradation neutrality" by 2030 and has already met this goal ahead of schedule through scientific measures, legal framework improvements, and technological innovations like drone seeding.
