Contributing to climate change efforts and biodiversity conservation have been the priority of the ongoing work for global beverage leader the Coca-Cola Co in China, as it has operated more than 50 water stewardship programs in the country, said its top executive in the China unit.

During the recent 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 15), which was launched in Kunming, Yunnan province, Zhang Jiantao, Coca-Cola Greater China and Mongolia vice-president, shared many examples of their efforts in protecting biodiversity.

"We have more than 50 water stewardship programs across 23 provinces, regardless of whether it's about the longest river in China, or a county community," he said.

Since 2007, Coca-Cola has been working with the WWF, UNDP and other partners to protect the freshwater resources of the Yangtze River, in which rare species such as pandas, snow leopards, white cranes, porpoises and Chinese dragonflies were bred.
