Launch of Key Recommendations for Weihai’s 2035 Agenda Report

This event marks the launch of the key achievement of the Weihai project, which aims to extend the experiences and outcomes of the Weihai project to more coastal cities, contributing to the comprehensive implementation of the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy 2035.

Event description

With the support and instruction from the project of the International Panel on Deltas and Coastal Areas (IPDC) and the Ministry of the Ecology and Environment of China (MEE), the GCA China in collaboration with the Weihai Municipal People’s Government launched “GCA Support for Weihai in Building a Climate Adaptive Pilot City Project”. This initiative aims to provide technical support to Weihai City, enhance the city’s resilience to climate change, and promote the development of climate-resilient policies and projects in urban planning, design, and implementation. The project seeks to effectively enhance the city’s resilience, adaptability, and responsiveness to climate challenges, ensuring adequate preparation for future climate impacts.

Following that, Weihai City and GCA have organized a series of knowledge exchange activities on themes such as “Climate Risk Assessment” and “Best Practices for Building Climate-Resilient Cities.” Based on previous experience and key related materials, we developed a consultancy report titled ” Supporting China’s Pilot on Resilient Cities under the International Panel on Deltas, Coastal Areas and Islands: Key Recommendations for Weihai’s 2035 Agenda.” This report offers strategic guidance for urban climate resilience planning in Weihai for the period from 2025 to 2035, further enriching the “Implementation Plan for Building Climate Adaptive City in Weihai” and supporting the city’s resilience-building efforts. As a core contribution, Weihai City and GCA will jointly host a launch event to release the report in Chinese and English to mark the success of the project.

 

该报告会将正式发布威海项目的核心报告，以进一步将威海项目的经验和成果推广到更多的沿海城市，为《国家适应气候变化战略2035》的全面实施做出贡献。

2023年12月8日，在国际三角洲和沿海地区小组（IPDC）项目以及中国生态环境部（MEE）的指导和支持下，山东省威海市人民政府与全球适应中心（GCA）共同启动“气候适应型沿海城市建设项目”，旨在向威海市提供技术支持，努力增强城市对气候变化的韧性，推动在城市规划、设计和实施中融入气候韧性的政策和项目，有效提升城市的韧性、适应性和应对能力，为迎接未来气候挑战做好充分准备。
 
在项目的支持下，威海市和GCA围绕 “加强气候风险评估”和“建设气候韧性城市的最佳实践”等主题举办了系列知识交流研讨会。此外，结合前期成果、经验以及相关资料，我们编制了一份名为《IPDC支持中国气候适应型试点城市建设项目：威海市2035议程关键建议》的咨询报告。该报告详细地分析了威海市的地理环境和气候特征，并为威海市的韧性城市建设提供了一个清晰的路线图，进一步丰富了《威海市气候适应型城市建设试点实施方案》，支持威海市韧性城市建设行动。
 
2024年7月26日，威海市和GCA将共同举办一次报告发布会，正式发布报告的中英文版本。作为该项目的核心报告，这次发布会将标志着项目的圆满成功。
