The invention provides a method for herbaceous plants to cope with global climate change. The method comprises the steps of 1, with herbaceous plants being the main body, managing stony desertification and desertification, controlling coastal erosion and water and soil loss and preventing an earth ecological system from collapsing and breaking down; 2, planting the herbaceous plants in regions with the stony desertification, the desertification, the coastal erosion and the water and soil loss, fixing the surface soil layer, recovering or rebuilding vegetation and controlling emission of carbonin lithosphere to atmosphere and hydrosphere; 3, utilizing the characteristics that the fast-growing herbaceous plants are fast in growth and development, high in carbon capturing efficiency and hugein biomass, convert movable carbon in the atmosphere into fixed carbon, develop new climate economy, further promote the increase of the amount of the fixed carbon in the industries of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, side-line production and fishery and achieving a world zero carbon development mode. Ecological development is the best carbon emission reduction mode, and carbon dioxide isprecious wealth of the human. Respecting the nature, conforming to the nature, protecting the nature and guiding the nature solve the problem of ecology, environment, resources, economy and global climate warming.
