摘要

Global greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise, leading to record-breaking global average temperatures. This trend results in an increase in extreme weather events and an acceleration of glacier and ice cap melting, causing rising sea levels and posing a threat to biodiversity (WMO 2023). The Global Risks Report 2023 indicates that the three greatest risks facing humanity in the next decade are the inability to mitigate climate change, the inability to adapt to climate change, and extreme natural disasters, all of which are closely related to climate change. Climate change is already seriously threatening human survival and development (WEF 2023). The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2022 of the United Nations points out that the world is on the edge of a climate catastrophe, and the window for avoiding it is closing. Global greenhouse gas emissions are still increasing, and all countries need to take immediate action to shift from the tipping point of a climate catastrophe to a turning point toward a sustainable future (United Nations 2022). China released the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy 2035 in 2022, promoting enhanced adaptive capacity and proactive responses to climate change.
