China’s intelligent meteorological early warning program “Mazu” has been implemented in eight countries

China News Service, Beijing, October 21 (Reporter Chen Hang) China actively responded to the United Nations National Early Warning Initiative and released and implemented China's meteorological intelligent early warning program "Mazu". It has been implemented in 8 countries including Pakistan, Ethiopia, and Nepal. It also supports cloud trials in 58 countries and has conducted application training for more than 100 countries and more than 1,400 people.

The 2026 Financial Street Forum Annual Meeting Insurance Conference "Catastrophe Risk Management System Construction and Innovation in the Context of Climate Change - Technology Gathering and Ecological Co-Prosperity" was held in Beijing on the 21st. Wang Yawei, Director of the Disaster Reduction Services Department of the China Meteorological Administration, made the above remarks.

Wang Yawei said that in the context of global climate change, extreme weather and climate events are becoming more frequent, more frequent, and more frequent. The intensity of typhoons continues to increase, and the extreme nature of heavy rains becomes more and more prominent. In particular, the rain belts in northern China move significantly northward during the flood season.

Wang Yawei said that a super strong El Niño event has formed in September this year, which is expected to reach its peak in late autumn and early winter this year. It may become the strongest El Niño event in history since systematic monitoring. It may bring huge challenges to the global climate and have a significant impact on various industries such as agriculture and energy, as well as global commodity transactions.

Wang Yawei said that China’s meteorological service level continues to improve, and its meteorological disaster prevention and reduction system continues to improve. Build a new generation of national emergency warning information release system to realize the aggregation, sharing and rapid release of early warning information for 22 industries across the country, and efficiently respond to major disastrous weather processes such as extreme rainstorms and super typhoons. Establish basic data products and long-sequence climate data sets covering multiple layers of the Earth system, promote the transformation of single weather warnings into comprehensive weather + risk warnings, establish a climate security risk transfer and dispersion mechanism, help build a climate-adaptive society, and deepen disaster insurance meteorological services focusing on catastrophes such as typhoons and heavy rains.
