Abstract:

The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is one of the important multilateral agreements involving global environmental protection and sustainable development. It has promoted international cooperation and jointly combat land desertification and drought. Since the signing of the UNCCD, the Chinese government has actively carried out international implementation work and makes remarkable achievements. However, desertification is still a major challenge facing the world. By combing the main contents of the previous conferences of the parties, the international implementation process was divided into three stages: the construction, exploration and substantive progress of the implementation mechanism. On this basis, this paper systematically reviewed and summarized China's implementation progress and international influence in terms of implementation mechanism and institutional operation, legal system construction, technological exploration, ecological engineering construction, sand industry development and international cooperation. The main problems were also discussed in the UNCCD implementation, and further countermeasures and suggestions for China’s implementation of the UNCCD in the new era of governance of mountain-river-forest-farmland-lake-grass-sand system to building a more perfect desertification combat system.

Key words: United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, compliance actions, system governance, problems and countermeasures, China
