The Chinese mainland experienced its warmest year since official meteorological records began in 1951, with an average temperature of 10.71°C in 2023, according to a report by the China Meteorological Administration (CMA).
Jia Xiaolong, deputy director of the National Climate Center under the CMA, revealed during a press conference in Beijing that the average temperature last year was 0.82°C higher than the recent average. This significant rise underscores the ongoing challenges of global warming affecting the region.
The CMA's findings highlight the urgent need for sustainable practices and climate action to mitigate the impacts of rising temperatures. As the Chinese mainland continues to navigate its economic and environmental future, addressing climate change remains a critical priority for policymakers and citizens alike.
