Global Programme Climate Change Office SDC

The overall project goal of this project is to improve international knowledge on the assessment of climate impacts and risks, and develop practical approaches to climate change adaptation. The project purpose is to develop and share China's experience of integrating climate adaptation into the development process, in order to reduce China's, and other countries', vulnerability to climate change. The project will have the following five outputs: 1) Improved development of, and access to, climate change science in China. 2) Comprehensive risk assessments, based upon vulnerability and impacts, produced at national and provincial levels. 3) Climate risks integrated into planning and management within the three project provinces, and informing national level processes. 4) Awareness and capacity increased among Chinese policymakers and other key stakeholders to address climate change adaptation within China's development process. 5) Knowledge sharing between China, Switzerland/UK, and other countries in Asia and Africa, to further develop climate change adaptation approaches, and better understand the political economy of adaptation to climate change.
