Since 1978, China has lifted 600 million people out of poverty and has made good all-round progress towards achieving the MDGs. But one of the greatest challenges to its continued economic development is tackling climate change and reducing the impacts that rapid growth is having on China's natural environment. The Joint Programme supported China in implementing its new National Climate Change Strategy and improved local capacities for financing and technology. It also worked to ensure that vulnerable communities – including the world’s biggest rural population – can adapt to climate impacts.
