Chapter 4 Adaptation Measures to Address Global Climate Change

formulate unified regional climate change adaptation policy objectives under the national
climate change response policy framework. For example, jointly setting regional energy
conservation and emission reduction targets, clarifying the reduction of carbon emission in-
tensity per unit of GDP within a specific period, and promoting the transition of the regional
economy toward low-carbon development. To achieve this goal, local governments need
to coordinate industrial policies. For high-energy-consuming and high-emission industries
such as steel and cement, unified industrial access standards and energy conservation/emis-
sion reduction requirements should be established. Restrictions should be imposed on new
high-energy-consuming projects, while existing enterprises should be encouraged to conduct
technological transformations by adopting advanced production processes and pollution
control technologies to reduce carbon emissions. For instance, new steel projects should be
required to adopt advanced blast furnace ironmaking technology to improve energy efficien-
cy and reduce waste gas emissions; existing steel enterprises should be encouraged to im-
plement technological upgrades such as waste heat recovery and utilization, and installation
of high-efficiency desulfurization and denitrification equipment, to gradually reduce carbon
emission levels.
In the transportation sector, cities within the region should coordinate transportation
planning and policies. Promote public transportation priority development policies and
establish a regionally integrated public transportation network. For instance, by achieving
interconnectivity of rail transit systems such as intercity subways and light rails, along with
rational alignment of bus routes, residents are encouraged to choose public transportation
over private vehicles, thereby reducing carbon emissions in the transportation sector. Taking
an urban cluster as an example, the construction of intercity subway connecting lines enables
residents to commute conveniently between different cities via subway, decreasing reliance
on private cars for cross-city travel. Simultaneously, implement unified new energy vehicle
promotion policies to increase the regional ownership of new energy vehicles and optimize
transportation energy structure through measures such as vehicle purchase subsidies and
charging infrastructure construction subsidies. Provide specified purchase subsidies to con-
sumers buying new energy vehicles, while offering construction subsidies to enterprises es-
tablishing public charging piles and battery swap stations within the region. This incentivizes
companies to expand charging infrastructure development, alleviates range anxiety among
new energy vehicle users, and ultimately facilitates wider adoption of new energy vehicles.
In terms of land use policies, local governments within the region should coordinate
planning. Based on climate change impact assessment results, reasonably delineate ecolog-
ical conservation redlines, agricultural production protection zones, and urban development
boundaries. In ecologically fragile areas such as river headwaters and wetland peripheries,
strictly restrict development and construction activities, strengthen ecological protection and
restoration, and enhance the regional ecosystem’s regulatory capacity for climate change.
For example, in river headwater areas, prohibit large-scale industrial development and real
