China has unveiled measures to boost its climate change monitoring and risk prevention capabilities. It seeks to build a climate-resilient society by 2035, with significant improvements in its abilities, according to the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy 2035, jointly released by 17 departments, including the ministry of ecology and environment.

By 2035, the country's climate change monitoring and early warning capability will reach an advanced level globally, while the climate risk management and prevention system will mature, according to the document.

China will take measures to prevent and control major climate-related disaster risks in an effective manner, and further improve the technical and standard system for adapting to climate change, it said.

China first issued such a strategy in 2013, and for the first time made climate change adaptation a national strategy. Since then, the country has made positive results in improving adaptation to climate change in key regions and industries, an official news agency reported.

The document underlined measures to improve climate change monitoring and forecasting services, enhance assessment of climate change impacts and risks, and strengthen disaster prevention and mitigation.

China will integrate climate change response with its territorial space planning efforts, and improve the climate resilience of major strategic regions.

Supporting measures concerning fiscal and financial services, technology, and international cooperation will also be implemented in tandem with the country's climate resilience construction.
