What drives the green and low-carbon energy transition in China?: An empirical analysis based on a novel framework

Liu Pingkuo et al.

Summary: This study clearly defines the objectives and constructs an incentive-driven analysis model for the green and low-carbon transition in China's energy sector. The research quantitatively analyzes the driving effects of five-dimensional incentives and finds that institutional and dual circulation incentives are the most important. The study also highlights the importance of considering different stages in the transition process for effective policy-making.

China?s pathways to synchronize the emission reductions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases: Pros and cons

Rui Feng et al.

Summary: This study provides an overview of China's multipronged national-scale regulations to decelerate climate change and improve air quality, by concurrently reducing atmospheric pollution and greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies. These measures have helped China achieve its climate goals and established a roadmap for the future, benefiting both air quality enhancement and global warming mitigation.

A systematic assessment of city-level climate change mitigation and air quality improvement in China

Li Zhang et al.

Summary: China is facing challenges of air pollution and climate change, as PM2.5 concentrations have decreased in some cities while O-3 concentrations and CO2 emissions have increased, indicating a lack of synergy in air pollution control and CO2 mitigation.

Spatiotemporal evolutions and driving factors of green development performance of cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt

Xiaolin Cui et al.

Summary: Assessing the green development performance of 110 prefecture cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2011 to 2017, it was found that the overall level of green development performance was not high, especially in terms of green guarantee capability which did not improve significantly. Cities in the east had higher levels of green development performance compared to those in the west, with economically developed areas showing better performance and even some underdeveloped areas demonstrating high growth rates.

Impacts of meteorology and emission variations on the heavy air pollution episode in North China around the 2020 Spring Festival

Wenbo Xue et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the heavy air pollution episode in North China around the 2020 Spring Festival, finding that although there have been substantial reductions in air pollutant emissions in recent years, further reductions are needed to eliminate regional heavy pollution episodes.

Carbon neutrality target for G7 economies: Examining the role of environmental policy, green innovation and composite risk index

Lingui Qin et al.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of environmental policy, green innovation, composite risk index, and renewable energy research and development in controlling carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality targets. The results show a positive impact of these factors, while income has been found to influence environmental degradation. Additionally, the study identifies bidirectional causality within environmental policy, composite risk index, green innovation, and CO2 emissions, with unidirectional causality from GDP and renewable energy R&D to CO2 emissions.

Air quality benefits of achieving carbon neutrality in China

Xurong Shi et al.

Summary: The newly announced carbon neutrality target before 2060 in China is expected to substantially impact air quality. Simulation results show that China is likely to achieve the "Beautiful China 2035" target by 2035, with about half of the cities meeting the current WHO air quality guideline by 2060. Low-carbon policies are projected to contribute over 80% reductions in PM2.5 and O-3 concentrations by 2060.

Incorporating health co-benefits into technology pathways to achieve China's 2060 carbon neutrality goal: a modelling study

Shihui Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that a sole dependence on improving air pollution control measures is not enough for all Chinese provinces to meet the WHO PM2.5 standards by 2060. A combination of strong climate and air pollution control policies is needed for substantial improvement of air quality across China. With the realization of carbon neutrality goals, China has the potential to increase life expectancy by 0.88-2.80 years per person in 2060, and the health benefits could outweigh mitigation costs, indicating the cost-effectiveness of China's carbon neutrality goal.

Pathways of China's PM2.5 air quality 2015-2060 in the context of carbon neutrality

Jing Cheng et al.

Summary: According to the study, China can achieve its near-term climate goals by 2030 through fulfilling its National Determined Contributions (NDC) pledges and continuing air pollution control policies. However, reducing PM2.5 exposure to below 10 μg/m3 for the majority of the Chinese population by 2060 may require more ambitious climate mitigation efforts, such as China's carbon neutrality goals and global 1.5 degrees C-pathways. The research highlights the critical role of China's carbon neutrality goals in reducing air pollution exposure to the level of the World Health Organization guidelines and protecting public health.

Drivers of PM2.5 air pollution deaths in China 2002-2017

Guannan Geng et al.

Summary: The study found that emission controls avoided approximately 870,000 deaths in China between 2002 and 2017, but further improvements in air quality require energy-climate policies and changes in economic structure. Analysis showed that end-of-pipe control policies significantly reduced PM2.5-related deaths in China, with mandated emission control technologies avoiding nearly three-quarters of the deaths that would have occurred due to increased economic activity.

Recommendations on benchmarks for numerical air quality model applications in China - Part 1: PM2.5 and chemical species

Ling Huang et al.

Summary: Numerical air quality models have become more commonly used in China in recent years, but their performance can vary due to differences in model configurations. Factors such as emission inventory, grid resolution, and aerosol- and gas-phase chemistry have been identified as top influencers on the performance of PM2.5 AQMs in China.
