Using innovation to fight climate change

The international community is actively promoting a new governance system to cope with climate change - a challenge to humankind as a whole. China, as one of the most severely climate change-influenced countries, is using scientific and technological innovation as a tool to address the problem, which has given us precious experience to explore a climate-resilient and sustainable development path.

Innovative steps to cope with challenges

As it is the true calling of its economic transition to address climate change challenges, China has taken scientific innovation as the effective measure to transit to a green and sustainable development path by initiating the Scientific & Technological Actions on Climate Change and the 12th Five-Year Plan for Scientific and Technological Development Plan on Climate Change in 2007.
