The Adapting to Climate Change in China Project (ACCC) is an innovative policy research project, supporting China’s response to the impacts of climate change and evidence-based adaptation planning. ACCC provides decision-makers with the policy –relevant information they require, taking into account current and future climate change and variability.

ACCC aims to improve understanding and assessment of impacts, vulnerability and risk in key sectors in China by bringing together policy and research, national and subnational planning, social and physical science for an integrated response. The project shares this experience and lessons learnt with other developing countries in order to reduce their vulnerability to the impacts of climate.
