In recent days, Zhang Xingying, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Deputy Director of the Science and Technology and Climate Change Department of the China Meteorological Administration, has been shuttling between the roar of the factory building and the silence of the office, visiting companies to collect data and improving proposals in the office desk. Coping with climate change is not a multiple-choice question, but a survival question, "Zhang Xingying often says. As a long-term researcher engaged in atmospheric environment monitoring and climate change research, Zhang Xingying has been continuously concerned about the impact of climate change on people's health and socio-economic development for many years, actively promoting the improvement and implementation of relevant proposals. In the past 7 years, all 20 proposals he submitted have been filed and have received responses and implementation from relevant national departments one by one. In the 2024 National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he walked into the venue with his proposal on actively addressing health risks caused by climate change, which quickly attracted high attention from relevant national departments. In September of the same year, the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention and 13 other departments jointly issued the "National Climate Change Health Adaptation Action Plan (2024-2030)", which identified 10 key tasks in various fields and provided systematic solutions to address health risks caused by climate change. At the same time, the China Meteorological Administration has started to carry out research on climate health risk zoning and response measures in China, building a scientific defense line to safeguard public health. The weather forecast not only informs people to use umbrellas on rainy days, but also to be prepared and safeguard every moment of public health, "said Zhang Xingying. The China Meteorological Administration has added a health reminder function in the weather forecast, providing UV intensity alerts to prevent heatstroke and heat stroke, and reminding elderly people and heart disease patients to pay attention to the impact of temperature changes on their health when a cold wave arrives. This measure effectively integrates into health warnings, demonstrating the importance attached to public health. Last year, Zhang Xingying came to Guangxi to take up a temporary position as the Deputy Director of the Autonomous Region's Department of Ecology and Environment. Over the past year, he has gained a profound understanding of the profound impact of climate change on socio-economic development through his participation in grassroots governance practices. Zhang Xingying pointed out that taking the sugar industry in Guangxi as an example, drought leads to reduced production, floods damage farmland infrastructure, and increase production costs. These climate anomalies not only affect farmers' income, but also affect the sugar industry chain, leading to fluctuations in sugar prices and subsequently impacting the local economy. Climate change is not only an environmental issue, but also an economic issue. Scientific response is the key to safeguarding the prosperity of the 'sweet cause'. Zhang Xingying said that it is necessary to promote the deep integration of climate change and agricultural economy, and transform climate challenges into opportunities for green development. Around the theme of climate change and health, Zhang Xingying also specially planned the first Guangxi Exchange Promotion Conference on Environment and Big Health, Livable Health and Longevity, and promoted Liuzhou City to be selected as a pilot unit for the application of suitable technologies for environmental health risk assessment by the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention in the second batch. In addition, leveraging Guangxi's advantageous location facing ASEAN, Zhang Xingying has shared China's experience in addressing climate change governance on multiple international occasions, and led delegations to visit Cambodia and Vietnam to introduce relevant innovative measures. We not only need to protect the green mountains and clear waters of Guangxi, but also share China's experience and wisdom with ASEAN countries, contribute China's strength to the global response to climate change, and demonstrate Guangxi's responsibility Zhang Xingying said. This year's National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Zhang Xingying will submit proposals on the ecological and environmental risks of glacier melting, financial meteorology and risk prevention, coordinated monitoring of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and optimization of environmental impact assessment agency supervision. These proposals not only cover years and the latest research results, but also reflect his in-depth thinking in grassroots practice. Scientific response to climate change is an important part of protecting people's health and promoting high-quality economic development Zhang Xingying firmly believes that through technological innovation, policy guidance, and international cooperation, China will play a greater role in global action to address climate change and contribute Chinese wisdom and strength to building a community with a shared future for mankind.
