China Braces for Intense Climate Impact as Heatwaves and Rain Intensify

  • China expects a temperature rise of 1.7-2.8°C within 30 years.
  • Extreme heat events could occur every other year by the century’s end.
  • Record-breaking temperatures and unpredictable rains threaten agriculture and infrastructure.

China is preparing for a future with more severe climate conditions, as the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) forecasts a significant rise in temperatures and increased weather unpredictability.

The CMA’s vice-director, Yuan Jiashuang, highlighted the urgency of reducing emissions to mitigate these extreme weather events. If emissions remain high, heatwaves expected once every fifty years could become a biennial occurrence by the end of the century, with rainfall potentially doubling and becoming more erratic.

China Faces Rising Climate Threats: Heatwaves and Unpredictable Rain on the Horizon

China is increasingly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, as highlighted in the China Meteorological Administration’s (CMA) annual “Blue Book.” The report predicts that maximum temperatures could increase by 1.7-2.8 degrees Celsius over the next 30 years, particularly affecting eastern China and the northwestern region of Xinjiang. The country’s average temperatures last year hit record highs, leading to notable glacial retreat and permafrost melting.

The report underscores the growing pressure on China to adapt to rapidly changing weather patterns and rising sea levels, which are occurring

China’s proactive stance on climate adaptation highlights the urgency of addressing global warming to mitigate the severe impacts on its environment, agriculture, and infrastructure.

“China is a region that is sensitive to global climate change, a region where the impact will be significant,” said Yuan Jiashuang, vice-director of the CMA’s National Climate Centre.
