We work to provide sustainable solutions and improve knowledge to control short-lived climate forcers in China

The Black Carbon project aims to reduce emissions from key sources like residential combustion and industrial processes in northern China, improving air quality and mitigating climate impacts. Led by the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES) and the Norwegian Environment Agency (NEA), the project fosters collaboration between China and Norway to develop cleaner technologies and practices. This initiative supports China’s 2060 carbon neutrality goal and global efforts to address short-lived climate pollutants.

The Methane project focuses on reducing emissions from waste treatment and livestock production in northern China by developing cost-effective solutions and strategies. It aims to improve local emission data and recommend control technologies, contributing to China’s 2060 carbon neutrality goal and commitments under the Paris Agreement. The project is jointly led by the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES) and the Norwegian Environment Agency (NEA), strengthening collaboration to mitigate climate change, improve air quality and reduce food loss by recommending solutions to reduce methane emissions.
