Zhang said the conference also adopted a new UNCCD strategy framework for the 2018-2030 period.
The Ordos Declaration also applauded China's efforts to combat desertification, the set-up of a Belt and Road cooperation framework on fighting desertification, and the successful model of "green desert economy" demonstrated in the shrinking of the Kubuqi desert.
Over the past 30 years, one third of the 18,600-square-kilometer Kubuqi desert has been covered by shrubs and trees. More than 100,000 locals can no longer be considered "poor" as they profit from planting drought-resistant licorice.
A UNCCD report says the core of the success in Kubuqi is its sustainable business model and the establishment of a system that incorporates policy instruments, investment from the private sector and active participation of locals.
UNCCD Executive Secretary Monique Barbut said the Chinese model of green economy, involving the relationship between the local population and the eco-systems around, can be replicated elsewhere in the world.
