The increasing frequency of extreme weather events, such as Super Typhoon Doksuri in 2023 and this year’s Typhoon Bebinca, has prompted China to develop a comprehensive precautionary system encompassing meteorological alerts, insurance coverage, agricultural protection and rescue facilitation. In light of ongoing rainstorms and floods over recent summers, there are calls for a more accurate meteorological warning system capable of forecasting severe weather well in advance. Insurance is being introduced to enhance coverage for major natural disasters, tapping into a significant market potential in China. In response to floods and extreme heat, farmers are overhauling drainage systems and improving seed varieties to better cope with climate change. Meanwhile, volunteer rescue teams seek financial support to attract more participants. Experts argue that as climate change is an undeniable reality, it needs collaborative efforts to tackle this pressing crisis.
