At the annual Eco Forum Global Conference, on June 28, in the city of Guiyang, Guizhou province, Dai Bingguo, a former state councilor, was on hand to speak, joining Kevin Rudd, a former prime minister of Australia.

Dai told the gathering that the world now faces a big challenge in ecological civilization and needs global cooperation to improve the ecology and that the Eco Forum Global Conference is a good place to promote International cooperation and bring together the thoughts and practices of ecological and civilization work.

The Eco Forum Global Conference is special, Rudd said, because it takes place in China, which is the world's second largest economy, and that, If the ecological civilization concept can be realized in a country with the world's largest population, then, the concept will can be promoted and practiced in other countries for sustainable development, since developing countries have many seats at the United Nations General Assembly..
