2. Policies & Strategy
• National Climate Change
Adaptation Strategy:
– During 2011-2013, NDRC has developed a national
strategy for climate change adaptation.
– The strategy, based on the assessment of the impact
of climate change on China’s economic and social
development, has laid out clear guidelines and
principles for climate change adaptation, as well as
proposed adaptation objectives, major tasks,
regional patterns and safeguarding measures.
– Provinces, including Zhejiang, Henan and Liaoning,
have carried out their own regional strategic studies
for addressing climate change.
