Beijing Practices Tackling Climate Change

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Impacts of global climate change on Beijing is likely to focus not on climate changes in isolation but on interactions between climate change and other stresses on the city’s growth and development. Beijing’s vulnerabilities related to climate change include an increase in annual average temperatures,
possible reductions in average rainfall and run-off, and more heat waves and fewer frosts. Beijing’s GHGs emission from energy consumption is calculated to be nearly 35 million tons of CO2 in 2005. Changing trends of Beijing’s GHGs (Green House Gas) from other sources have been predicted. Beijing’s responses and actions of mitigation and adaptation to climate change are analyzed under a background of the 2008 Olympic Games with particular attention from 2001.
