Climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss (referred to as the ‘triple planetary crisis by United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change - UNFCCC) have become significant global challenges profoundly affecting people’s lives and livelihoods. More frequent occurrence of extreme weather events such as floods and droughts, slow onset changes and the depletion of natural resources pose great threats to the economic development of all countries. Environmental sustainability is a pressing concern for China, which has made major strategic decisions to achieve “carbon dioxide peaking” and “carbon neutrality.” These initiatives include lowering the intensity of energy, water, and land use, and enhancing the circular economy and green development to promote harmony between human beings and nature. In the context of addressing climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss and promoting green development, some groups have faced the risk of unemployment and livelihood difficulties during the transition. China has taken steps to safeguard the immediate and long-term livelihoods of these groups through a series of positive initiatives, including social security measures. This case study focuses on social protection policies developed by the Chinese Government for resettled fishers in the key waters of the Yangtze River Basin. By analyzing the effects of these policies and summarizing China’s experience on social protection, the study aims to highlight China’s solutions – good practices – to advance the global response to the triple planetary crisis and the realization of a just transition.
