The China Meteorological Administration has formally initiated a plan to implement the China National Scheme on Climate Change, the first policy that China ever made to deal with climate change.

Wang Shourong, deputy director of CMA, has told local media that climate change is closely related to meteorological disasters and abnormal meteorological phenomena, and with the background of global warming, meteorological disasters are destined to be on the rise.

Song Lianchun, director of the Forecast and Disaster Reduction Division of CMA, said that they would provide more detailed weather forecast products in accordance to the requirements of each industry. Song said that they had already launched a meteorological guarantee service for railway transportation. However, he admitted that they had not done enough on transmitting disaster forecasts.

CMA is also reportedly building a national unexpected event pre-warning information release system, which shall be transmitted to the public through television and wireless devices like mobile phones.
