China faces pressing environmental and energy challenges. China is by far the largest energy consumer (~25% of world’s total), coal consumer (~50%), automobile market (~27%) and CO2 emitter (~30%). Urban areas are experiencing some of the world’s worst air pollution and traffic congestion problems, which seriously affect the quality of life and sustainability of economic growth. As China addresses these challenges, there will inevitably be global impacts.
CICER researchers are working to understand the causes and consequences of these challenges, as well as the effectiveness of different policy alternatives. Some of our ongoing research projects include:
