This course introduces the impacts of climate change on global food security and China's strategic approaches and adaptation measures. This course outlines China's adaptation policies, from 2013 to 2022. The course underscores China's efforts in enhancing climate monitoring and early warning capabilities, fostering green and climate-smart agriculture, optimizing agroclimatic resource utilization, reinforcing agricultural disaster mitigation systems, bolstering agro-ecosystem resilience, and establishing a food security system adapted to climate change.

The course comes from 2024 Seminar on Climate Resilience Building, a policy dialogue co-organised by WFP China COE and Zhangjiakou Academy of Agricultural Science. This dialogue aims to advocate for climate resilience building for the world’s most vulnerable population, share China’s policy design on food security against climate change and tap into why and how policies should be shaped to promote climate-resilient crops and solar energy solutions for agriculture value chain development.
