The Symposium 2024 for Eco Forum Global Guiyang was held in Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, on Sept 25.

As China's only national-level international forum focusing on ecological civilization, the event has been successfully held 12 times since its establishment in 2009.

The symposium established a forum advisory committee and set up an office in Beijing. Twenty highly-influential domestic and international experts were appointed as members, 10 of whom are Chinese and 10 of whom are from abroad.

The forum advisory committee will serve as a non-physical, non-profit international technical consulting platform, providing intellectual support for the forum from an international perspective and at the national level.

The symposium also established a forum partnership mechanism, constructing an international, diversified, and market-oriented cooperation network to expand practical cooperation in the field of ecological civilization among political, academic, and business sectors.

This mechanism will focus on forum brand planning and marketing, deepen exchanges and cooperation with international organizations, universities, research institutes, and think tanks related to ecological civilization, and involve leading enterprises in the industry to promote the establishment of partnerships with relevant departments, providing a path toward the commercialization of research achievements for the 2025 forum.

Furthermore, the symposium tracked pressing international issues and solicited opinions and suggestions from the advisory committee, international organizations, renowned universities, research institutions, and leading enterprises to propose an annual theme and topic list for the 2025 forum.
