空气污染、温室气体与气候

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a promising decarbonization solution for aviation, but its adoption remains below 1% due to high cost. As municipal solid waste (MSW) continues to grow and sustainable disposal remains challenging, converting MSW into...

The aviation industry, contributing 2.8% of global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, faces significant decarbonization challenges. This study examines China’s aviation sector, which is expected to become the world’s largest market. An integrated model...

The causal relationship between the built environment, car ownership, and travel-induced pollutant emissions remains obscured by residential self-selection (RSS) bias. This study leverages China’s unique housing demolition and resettlement program to...

• Captures the beneficial implications of the transition to a carbon-free future, especially for impoverished rural Indian youth
• Provides relevant learnings in the context of urgent and diverse global climate change concerns
• Demonstrates how India can combine...

Dust loading in West and South Asia has been a major environmental issue due to its negative effects on air quality, food security, energy supply and public health, as well as on regional and global weather and climate. Yet a robust understanding of its...

Large-scale closure of coal mines is required for China to achieve carbon neutrality. However, what this means for methane emissions, particularly for abandoned mine methane (AMM), is highly uncertain. Here we construct a detailed and dynamic coal mine...

China’s civil aviation market has rapidly expanded, becoming the world’s second-largest. However, the air quality and health impacts caused by its aircraft emissions have been inadequately assessed. Here, we leverage an updated emission inventory of air...

Benefiting from international economic cooperation on income, technology diffusion, and employment, China also suffers its environmental and health impacts, from both international trade (IT), as is now widely understood, and international industrial...

The causal impacts of aviation on local air pollution are poorly understood. Leveraging variation in aviation frequency caused by COVID-19 travel restrictions that occurred hundreds of miles away between 2020 and 2022, this study identifies the short-run...
