Abstract: In the next four to six decades, enhanced emissions of the greenhouse gases:carbon dioxide, methane, chloroflorocarbon and nitrogen oxide rexulting from human activities will increase the global mean surface temperature by 1- 3℃. According to the current trend of agricultural and climaticchanges in China, six sensitive agricultural areas and five regions with high vulnerability to the global warming impacts areindentified, In the meantime, adapted countermeasures are prodosed in consideration of the incremental cost and benefitcaused by global warming.

Key words: global warming, agriculture impacts, adaptation, vulnerability
