An Exploration of the Challenges Climate Change Has Brought to theChinese Economy and the Corresponding Strategies

Abstract

With the increasing use of fossil fuels, climate change in the 21st century is becoming the main development issue of
our era. The increasing severity of climate change affects daily life and brings great challenges to the global economy.
The purpose of the paper is to explore the impact of global climate change on China’s economic development and
analyze China’s effective measures to deal with the challenges of climate change in the 21st century. Theoretical
insights from East Asia Environment Monitor on Adapting to Climate Change (2007), which is the first regional report
in the “Environment Monitor” series, and Rosa (2003), who made a clear explanation of the relationship between world
energy and climate change are synthesized in the context of global climate change. Both form a conceptual framework.
In addition, we also review the research of Hugh Compston and Ian Bailey with their study focusing on climate policies
and anti-climate policies, and other professional experts in this field, such as B. Saranya and Mo Hong’e, who explore
the risk of climate change in the economy and discuss specific policies in China. It can be found that due to climate
change, various phenomena, including the rapid rise in global temperature, then changes in precipitation patterns and
frequent extreme weather, have occurred, affecting food and water supplies in developing countries and leading to
significant losses to the production of China’s agriculture and animal husbandry. The study also finds that adaptation to
climate change is a complicated process that must integrate different measures, including efficient energy conversion
and utilization, carbon sequestration, and alternative energy carrier like synthetic fuels. Overall, this study provides
effective measures for China’s response to the impact of global climate change on economic development.
