Global climate change has become a hot topic in today's international political, economic, environmental and diplomatic arenas. China has implemented a series of strategies, measures and actions to cope with climate change, which has promoted industrial transformation and human resource adjustment in China's state-owned forest areas. However, little is known about the role of current human resource allocation in adaptation to climate change in the state-owned forest farm of China. To address these gaps, this study calculated the current situation of human resource structure and the contribution rate of three industries to the allocation of human resources and the evaluation model of coordinated fitness to the climate changes in key state-owned forest farms. The results show that: (1) The current situation of talent in key state-owned forest areas shows a shortage of total amount, a shortage of high-level and highly educated talents, and aging of talents. (2) The coefficient of structural deviation increased and the coefficient of structural-change synergy kept decreasing, indicating that the coordination between human resource allocation and industrial structure in key state-owned forest areas nowadays is only at the intermediate level of synergistic fitness. The paper highlights the trained-professional human resource and the industrial structure changes in the context of climate change as the main limited factors for the key state-owned forest farms of China. Increasing the education investment for climate change and the economic income for the employees are suggested to be promoted for policy makers in future.
