　　Executive summary

　　China， with its growing population and economic development， faces increasing risks to health from climate change， but also opportunities to address these risks and protect health for generations to come. Without a timely and adequate response， climate change will impact lives and livelihoods at an accelerated rate. In 2020， the Lancet Countdown Regional Centre in Asia， led by Tsinghua University， built on the work of the global Lancet Countdown and began its assessment of the health profile of climate change in China with the aim of triggering rapid and health-responsive actions.
