On September 3, Prof. Gong Peng and Associate Yu Le attended the symposium on "Climate, Ecology, and Livelihood", jointly organized by Chinese scientists and the United Nations Environment Program in Nairobi, Kenya. During the coincidence of the school party secretary Chen Xu visited Africa. Presided over by Chen Xu, and presented souvenirs from the Department of Earth System Science of Tsinghua University to the United Nations Environment Program, the African Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Embassy in Kenya, respectively.

In the United Nations chief environmental scientist Liu Jian held a welcoming banquet, Chen Xu presented the latest version of the "African Surface Coverage Map" commemorative wood engraving, and the U disk with relevant data produced by the postdoctoral fellowship of Zhao Yuanyuan and Ph.D. students Feng Duole to the Deputy Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Ibrahim Thiaw under the witness of Chinese Ambassador to Kenya Mr. Liu Xianfa, Chinese Academy of Sciences Remote Sensing and Digital Earth Institute Guo Huadong academician, Mr. Liu Jian. The fine souvenirs were impressed by Mr. Theo.
At African Academy of Sciences, Chen Xu and Prof. Gong Peng presented the African surface cover drawing works wood engraving to Prof. Thomas Kariuki, Director of the African Academy of Sciences
During the meeting, Professor Gong Peng introduced the latest progress of Tsinghua University in various fields such as climate change science, global ecology, computational earth science, and environmental change and health. And highlights the content of African cartography. The Surface Overlay Mapping Group has focused its attention from China on international as of 2009. Took the lead in the world to complete the highest resolution of 30m global surface cover map, and focus on remote sensing weak foundation, complex surface coverage of Africa. After several years of development, the Department of Earth System Science and many African countries have achieved initial success. At present, the Department of Earth System Science has established online global mapping technology that can provide any terrestrial area in the world for surface overlay mapping services for any individual. At the same time, African drawings are constantly updated, drawing accuracy and reality continue to improve, and according to a number of topics such as farmland, bamboo, surface water and other surface monitoring. These data are important bases for African agriculture and water management, food security, environmental and biodiversity conservation, and climate change research.
