Tang, R., Zhao, J., Liu, Y. et al. Air quality and health co-benefits of China’s carbon dioxide emissions peaking before 2030. Nat Commun

Objective:

  • Apply and IAM to estimate the air quality and health co-benefits under different carbon mitigation pathways

Case:

  • China

Methodology:

  • IAM: GCAM

Data Source

  • SSP
  • SO2
  • Death

Findings:

  • Industry and power generation contribute more than 80% of the total emissions in 2010
  • Rapid shift away from fossil fuels towards zero- or low- carbon energy sources and increased use of CCS under a strict climate target would lead to substantial reduction in carbon emissions
