Climate change has become a global problem. China has also experienced obvious climate warming in recent decades, especially in arid areas, which has led to higher risks of wildfires and personal safety. Moreover, dry land absorbs more sunlight, converts soil moisture into water vapor, and takes heat away from the surface, thus making the temperature higher. These may hinder economic growth to a great extent. The Chinese government is aware of the existing problems in a timely manner and has actively taken measures to participate in international cooperation and issue relevant laws. China will continue to put into practice the vision of innovative, coordinated, green, open and inclusive development The Chinese government is committed to achieving sustainable development. In the short term, it is difficult to fundamentally change climate change caused by industrial production habits and energy use. But in the long term, with the transformation of the energy structure and the transformation of the mode of economic development, we believe that the negative impact of the climate problem on the economy will be gradually solved. This paper mainly explores the impact of climate change on China's economy, and how China takes measures to deal with these problems, and studies the effects of these policies and measures. Finally, we come to the conclusion that these measures may not be effective in the short term, but they are still very necessary, and they will play a role in the medium and long term.
