The Adapting to Climate Change in China (ACCC) project is designed to develop and share internationally China’s experience of integrating climate change adaptation into the development process, in order to reduce China and other countries’ vulnerability to climate change.
ACCC aims to improve global knowledge on the assessment of climate impacts and risks, develop practical approaches to climate change adaptation and share the experience with other countries.
ACCC works with government departments, national research institutes, provincial partners, international researchers and practitioners, and it has a programme management office based in Beijing. The work is conducted through teams of interdisciplinary researchers, to fully encompass the social, economic and environmental factors at play. Research activities and outputs are coordinated through the project management office.
