Tibet has seen ten consecutive warm winters since 2001. The average temperature of 2010 Tibet's winter is -4.2℃, 1.3℃ higher than average, according to data released by the Climate Centre of Tibet Meteorological Bureau, China Tibet Online reported.

In 2010, the average temperature of Tibet is 4.8℃, 1.5℃ above average, which is the second highest since 1971. The year 2009 saw Tibet's highest temperature in the past 30 years.

Experts in this field pointed out that as Tibet was located on the high-altitude Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, it is more vulnerable to global warming.

Climate change affects Tibet evidently. In 2010, various meteorological disasters, such as drought, snow disaster and flood, hit Tibet because of higher temperature and irregular rainfall distribution in the region.

During the 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-2015), Tibet will attach equal importance to environmental protection, economic growth, social progress and people's livelihood.

In the coming 5 years, Tibet will focus on eco-construction, econ-economy, eco-compensation, energy saving and emission reduction. It will strengthen the ability of disaster prevention and relief and tackle climate change more effectively, with a goal of building a major ecological protective screen for China.
