Beijing: The China Meteorological Administration (CMA) is ready to strengthen international cooperation in climate change adaptation by developing a cloud-based early warning system with key countries in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the South Pacific. MA administrator Dr. Chen Zhenlin said. During the management’s annual national conference held in Beijing earlier this month.
Chen revealed that the initiative is part of China’s broader efforts in 2025 to increase its role in global climate resilience, including working with Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries.
The proposed cloud-based early warning system aims to support early disaster prevention and response efforts, providing timely and accurate warnings to areas vulnerable to climate change, China Economic Net (CEN) reported on Thursday. To provide meteorological information.
According to the Global Cooperation Barometer 2025 report by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company, global cooperation on climate goals improved in 2024, with increased financial flows and higher trade in low-carbon technologies such as solar, wind and electric vehicles. with
“Nevertheless, urgent action is needed to meet net-zero goals as global emissions continue to rise. The report states that securing the financing needed to meet climate goals by 2030 and Broader global cooperation will be necessary to scale up the technologies.
During COP29, China’s Action Plan on Early Warning for Climate Change Adaptation (2025-2027) was published, to help developing countries enhance their early warning capabilities and climate change adaptation. The determination of is presented.
The move reflects China’s commitment to sharing its technological advances in meteorology and satellite data with the international community. CMA’s FY satellites, which accurately monitor global weather and climate events, are already integral to the global observing system.
“The cloud-based early warning system serves as a digital bridge that supports the United Nations’ Early Warnings for All initiative to address the challenge of climate change.” Xu Xianghua, Deputy Director General of CMA’s International Cooperation Department said.
Last August, China provided critical satellite remote sensing data and forecasting services to Yemen during severe flooding caused by heavy rains. In addition, the China Meteorological Department has upgraded overseas receiving stations of the CMA Satellite Data Broadcasting System (CMACast) for meteorological departments in 13 countries, including Malaysia, the Maldives and Pakistan.
So far, FY satellites have expanded services to 132 countries and regions around the world, and more than 1,400 trainees from 92 countries have received training in FY satellite technologies, providing developing countries with their initial It further outlines China’s intention to help strengthen the warning system.
