China to build cloud-based warning systems with Pak and other nations to enhance cooperation on climate change.
China’s Meteorological Administration (CMA) plans to enhance international collaboration on climate change adaptation by developing cloud-based early warning systems in partnership with key nations across Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the South Pacific, including Pakistan.
During the CMA’s annual national conference held in Beijing, Dr. Chen Zhenlin, CMA Administrator, stated that this initiative aligns with China’s 2025 strategy to bolster global climate resilience, particularly in collaboration with Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries. The cloud-based system will provide vulnerable regions with timely and precise meteorological information to aid in disaster prevention and response.
According to the Global Cooperation Barometer 2025 report by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company, global cooperation on climate goals improved in 2024, with increased financing and higher trade in low-carbon technologies such as solar, wind, and electric vehicles. However, the report emphasized the urgent need for accelerated action to achieve net-zero emissions, highlighting the importance of scaling up technologies and securing financial resources to meet climate targets by 2030.
Additionally, CMA has upgraded overseas reception stations for its Satellite Data Broadcasting System (CMACast) in 13 countries, including Malaysia, Maldives, and Pakistan. The FY satellite network now provides services to 132 countries and regions, while over 1,400 individuals from 92 nations have received training in FY satellite technology. This underscores China’s commitment to assisting developing nations in improving their early warning systems, aligning with the United Nations’ climate action objectives.
