Consortium to promote ecology

To prompt the development of an eco-civilization and alleviate poverty, the Global Consortium for Eco-civilization Scientists Union was established in Beijing, with more than 100 scientists from home and abroad attending on March 21.

Wang Wenbiao, chairman of the China Elion Foundation and founder of the organization, said improving air quality and controlling sand and dust have become key parts of building an eco-civilized nation and easing public concern.
