China’s Climate Resilience Strategy Boosts Economic Growth

China has integrated climate resilience into its economic growth strategy, emphasizing the alignment of climate goals with industrial policy and financial incentives. This approach ensures that investments support both environmental and economic objectives, with clear responsibility for implementation.

The war in the Middle East has disrupted oil and gas supplies, creating energy pressures for governments as they prepare for the upcoming Cop31 UN climate conference in Antalya, Turkey. This crisis highlights the need for climate action that strengthens economic resilience.

China offers a relevant case study, demonstrating how climate resilience can be a catalyst for economic development. Shouqing Zhu, a senior policy advisor with the World Economic Forum and World Resources Institute, has contributed to shaping this strategy.
