Two-day seminar hosted by the Fujian Red Cross in Fuzhou 27 – 28 July 2010, is part of the project “Disaster Risk Reduction and Integrated Climate Change Adaptation – a National Model for a Community Context in the People’s Republic of China”, implemented by the Chinese Red Cross with funding from the Finnish Red Cross. Representatives from the Red Cross Red Crescent and the Chinese government met, for the first time, as convergence of governmental departments including those responsible for agriculture, health, climate change, and disaster management, as well as meteorological office, with Chinese Red Cross counterparts from village up to provincial level. One experience that all participants share in common is the changes to climate that are occurring in Fujian province of China, and they had the same concern – how to deal with a more demanding climate?
