Description
Summary:Climate change is a pressing global concern with far-reaching consequences that vary across sectors. Addressing the adverse impacts of climate change on various sectors is a challenging issue faced by countries worldwide, including China. It is imperative for China to address climate change to foster sustainable development and make meaningful contributions to global climate mitigation efforts. This paper presented a comprehensive analysis of the impacts of climate change on the electricity, agriculture, and industry sectors, which together account for over 80% of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in China. Additionally, the strategies employed by these sectors to address climate change were reviewed, and potential future developments were explored. This review article could shine light on climate change practices and evidence-based policies aimed at addressing climate-related challenges across various sectors in China.
