Climate Risk And Resilience In China

This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the ways a country with such varying topography, a large population and inconsistent socio-economic development is developing approaches to tackle and respond to the challenges and opportunities presented by a changing climate. Using research and data from the Adapting to Climate Change in China (ACCC) project, the first and largest research-to-policy project of its kind ever attempted in China, Chinese and international scientists have come together to produce cutting-edge regional models, and Chinese policy makers assess future impacts of and vulnerability to climate change. The book also uses interviews with those individuals who have to bear the brunt of climate change to give a more human voice to what has become a political and scientific issue.
