Status of Climate Change in China
- The agricultural sector has suffered intensively from climate change in China. Climate change has interfered with agricultural patterns creating instability in production.
- Global warming led to droughts that caused severe damages resulting in reduced output in corn, wheat, and rice, altering production's agricultural distribution.
- China's ecosystem is suffering due to climate change. Forest belts are increasing besides an increase in pests and diseases.
- Frozen areas are decreasing, threatening the glacial areas of Northwest China
- Extreme weather events like droughts and floods are affecting the water resource in the country. Global warming is decreasing total water resources in North China while the South is experiencing an increase.
- In the sea, increasing water levels are affecting harbor services.
- Climate change is altering weather patterns threatening the lives of millions of people. Droughts and floods are adverse weather conditions that might lead to the deaths of people, animals, and forests' destruction.
The support that China needs from the international community
- The US will form a bilateral relationship and multilateral investment fund with China to speed up low carbon technologies in China.
- Collaboration with other countries to develop creative ideas, technologies, and policies that help minimize climate change.
- The US to fund China's policies and projects about climate change.
- The US and other car manufacturing countries to encourage China to adopt the use of electric cars.
