China has entered a new phase of watershed governance. Climate change has clear impacts on natural resources and land use and increases the uncertainty and risk of extreme weather events. Therefore, China’s new strategic goals for active climate change adaptation, “dual carbon” targets, resilience, and shared prosperity will require new policies to be successfully achieved. This study builds on previous research findings, such as the 2004 and 2022 Special Policy Study (SPS) on river basin comprehensive management and the 2018 and 2019 studies on ecological compensation mechanisms, as well as inspired by the ocean governance SPS, to propose policy recommendations for new challenges that aim to strengthen resilience and embed green transition.
