The frequent extreme weather events caused by climate change have resulted in increasingly greater damages in China and around the world, he stressed. Roughly 3 billion people around the globe are now in a highly fragile environment because of global warming, he said, quoting a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN body that assesses the science related to climate change. To cope with the problem, China made public the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy 2035 in June last year, arranging climate adaptation in key sectors, he said. In response to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ Early Warning for All Initiative, the two sides will jointly develop early warning projects under South-South climate cooperation.
