Climate change cooperation among the Belt and Road countries can achieve win-win results because the initiative helps address the challenge by improving climate policy coordination and providing opportunities for technology exchanges, according to officials and experts.

For instance, people living in Nigeria might soon be able to use advanced technology to grow bamboo to deal with rising sea levels if the initial cooperative goals agreed during a two-week seminar organized by the International Cooperation Center under the National Development and Reform Commission.

Hayatu Abdulkadir Shehu, a senior official with the National Emergency Management Agency in Nigeria, said he expected to bring bamboo-growth technology back home after visiting Anji county in Zhejiang province during the seminar in late April.
