Remote sensing technology has a special capability with rapid speed, multispectral, and large and periodic coverage. It has been playing an increasingly important role in global environment change study. As a fast development of remote sensing technology in the world, it is widely used for global environment change study in China. This paper summarizes the activities and achievements of remote sensing application to investigation of land use, forest, pasture land and oceans and monitoring of disasters in China.This achievement is a base for the remote sensing further application to global environment change study in China.
