The whole Silk Road mostly locates in arid / semi-arid regions of Inner Asia and the Silk Road on sea is characterized by continuous coastal zones and urban agglomerations. The eco-systems and socio-economy along the Area called One Belt One Road (B&R) is relatively weak such that they are sensitive to the trend of climate change and the response of extreme weather events. Therefore, the ways to deal with the climate change together are the fundamental problems under the economic construction in B&R. Under the circumstances of global climate change, it is the important scientific problems and the demands of national strategy that how to devise the scientific strategies based on the trend of climate change and its effects on eco-system, water resources and large infrastructures. The purposes of these scientific strategies are to achieve benefits from optimizing about the different industrial distributions of the country and investments on infrastructures in B&R. China will lead the development of the world through the strategy of B&R under the supports of China's science with much wider global / regional perspective to deal with the climate change.

In order to implement the strategic plans from the Party Central Committee on constructing One Belt One Road (B&R), make full use of the geographical and cultural advantages on Xinjiang located in the key area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, strengthen the communications with the meteorological technologies in Central Asian countries and promote the reconstruction of Central Asia Climate Change Research Project, the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Urumqi Regional Meteorological Center plan to hold "The 2nd International Workshop of Meteorological Science and Technology in Central Asia" at Beijing Friendship Hotel on September 28-29, 2016, Beijing.
