Climate-smart agriculture to address climate change

Climate change is one of the most serious common challenges the world is facing today, and one of the worst impacts of climate change has been on the agriculture sector, affecting development patterns and threatening global food security.

Climate change-induced natural disasters such as floods, droughts, heat waves, rising temperatures in summer and increasingly cold winters have been more frequently hitting China. Crops in some regions have suffered heavy damage, significantly affecting the stability of agricultural production. Therefore, the country has to take more measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change, so as to better safeguard agriculture.

In fact, the central government attaches great importance to adaptation to climate change, and has implemented a series of policies to enhance the resilience of agriculture to climate change. By taking such measures, China is also contributing to the global fight against climate change and helping improve global climate governance.
