PROJECT OVERVIEW

The project aims to develop and improve modeling tools and develop a “harmonious and beautiful” long-term climate neutral transition pathway for China, which is able to be informative to the development and implementation of long-term low greenhouse gas (GHG) emission strategies under the Paris Agreement. Pathways developed will consider socioeconomic development, energy, climate change, environment, and other important development dimensions, combined with the domestic development needs of the construction of an ecological civilization, green low-carbon sustainable development, and building “a beautiful China” in conjunction with the international requirements for limiting global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, while pursuing efforts to stay under 1.5°C, led by the development strategy put forward at the 19th national congress, and in line with Chinese characteristics of the new era of development.
