Can the desert bloom with forests and clean energy?
Xinjiang’s Taklamakan Desert, one of the largest sand seas on Earth, is gaining a new identity. Once known only for its shifting dunes, it’s now surrounded by shelterbelts of trees planted through China’s Three-North afforestation program. And alongside this green belt, a new landscape is taking shape — solar farms glinting under the desert sun and wind turbines rising against the horizon. In this episode of Climate Watch, Fei Fei speaks with Jason Smith, host of The Bridge to China Podcast, about his journey to Xinjiang and how the desert is being transformed into a frontier of forests and clean energy.
