The first Global Mayors Dialogue of 2025 is set to take place this coming January in Nanning City, the capital of south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. This landmark event will bring together mayors from cities across China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to explore collaborative strategies for driving a green transition and enhancing environmental protection throughout the region.
With shared environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss, China and ASEAN countries recognize the pressing need for joint action. The Global Mayors Dialogue aims to foster partnerships and share best practices among city leaders to address these issues effectively.
Particular focus will be placed on biodiversity conservation and ecological sustainability, areas where both China and ASEAN nations have significant potential for collaboration. By uniting their efforts, these cities hope to create a more sustainable future that benefits not only their respective regions but the global community as well.
Nanning City, known for its lush landscapes and commitment to green development, provides an ideal backdrop for this important dialogue. The event underscores the growing importance of city-level cooperation in tackling environmental challenges and sets the stage for meaningful progress in the years to come.
