China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment has announced that the country will soon ship a series of aids to three developing nations to help beef up their capabilities to cope with climate change.
The Asian giant will provide 5,000 sets of solar power generation systems for household use and 300 metric tons of cement for seawall construction for the Pacific island nation of Kiribati as part of efforts to implement its plan to ramp up South-South Cooperation on climate change, the ministry said in a media release earlier this week.
The release also said a mobile ground system that can receive and process data from satellites will be offered to Botswana to help support the African nation in environmental monitoring, agricultural production and the prevention of extreme weather disasters while six electric buses will be delivered to Costa Rica to facilitate the nation’s endeavor on a green, low-carbon transition in its transportation sector.

“Currently, the production of all aids in the three programs has been completed,” the ministry said. “They will be delivered for shipment soon.”
The ministry reiterated China’s desire to help other developing nations enhance their capabilities on tackling climate change.
To date, China has reached 45 agreements on climate cooperation with 38 developing countries while it has also offered training programs to some 2,300 officials and technicians working in climate-related positions in over 120 developing nations, it said.
