报告摘要：
‘Sponge City’ is the term used to describe the Chinese government’s approach to urban surface water management. The concept was conceived in 2014 in response to increasing urban surface flooding in many Chinese cities. While ambitious and far-reaching in its aim (of reducing national flood risk, increasing water supply and improving water quality), the initiative must be implemented by individual sub-provincial or municipal-level government entities. Thus, while the concept is similar to Blue-Green Cities (BGCs); sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) in the UK (or low-impact development (LID) in the USA), it is developing with different regional characteristics, and during continuing rapid urbanization. Indeed, the increasing use of national rather than international examples of best practices reflects a growing body of knowledge that has evolved since the start of the Sponge City initiative. In this session, we will discuss the interpretation and development of the latest SCP guidelines using the case of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. In this study, we particularly looked at public engagement and participation and found that the influence on social media and communication channels (e.g. via WeChat, Weibo, etc.) between the according to authorities have been initiated on the SCP development from the case of Ningbo. The communities have ways to express their opinions towards the SCP practice and operations for improvements and adjustments. These findings will help to improve the current 3rd stage of development of the Sponge City Program until the 2030s and beyond.

报告摘要：
Droughts and floods in 2022 and 2023 have compounded stress on Chinese food security. China’s northeast region is a major grain-producing powerhouse, but recent climatic extremes combined with EI Nino˜ effects have exposed vulnerabilities in its agricultural landscape. To address these challenges, flood relief infrastructure, protection of major croplands, and climate projection strategies must be implemented to safeguard food security. While, Land degradation, which directly affects global and regional economic and social development and food security, has become challenging. Looking North in East Asia, Mongolia and China (Inner Mongolia) are facing severe land degradation from continuous soil erosion by human-induced unsustainable agricultural practices and land-use changes, which have been execrated by climate change. The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) promoted the “Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN)”, and the ultimate target is to achieve a land degradation-neutral world that fulfils the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 15 (Life on Land) by 2030s and beyond. Mongolia and Inner Mongolia in N China are important in producing dairy and major grains products. This study aims to (1) investigate the past and current land degradation facts challenges, (2) identify the global lessons on the LDN practice, and (3) eventually develop an LDN framework that fits to achieve the LDN targets that align with SDG 15.
