The effects of past extreme weather events and future climate change cut across many different sectors of China’s economy. Ensuring a greater understanding of the impacts of climate change on the world’s most populous nation is vital not only for China but for the world.
Chatham House and the China National Climate Center, in partnership with the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) and the British Embassy Beijing, are leading a consortium of UK- and China-based organizations on a programme that supports sustainable and inclusive economic growth by ensuring that the worst economic, social and environmental risks of climate change are avoided.
This event convenes some of China’s most influential academics and government officials to discuss the status of climate risk assessment and adaptation actions at national and regional levels. The session also presents the progress that has been made in China on integrating risk reduction strategies into national and local social and economic development and sector strategies.
This event is being held as part of Asia Pacific Climate Week 2021.
