Health equity and synergistic abatement strategies of carbon dioxide and air pollutant emissions reduction in China’s eastern coastal area
Open AccessShasha Xu, Silu Zhang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024
Quantifying regional health disparities linked to air pollution is essential for enhancing air quality and attaining carbon neutrality objectives. Nonetheless, the efficacy of proactive policies in ensuring equitable health protection in China’s Eastern Coastal Area (ECA) remains uncertain. Here, we employed an integrated assessment model to assess the combined reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and atmospheric pollutants and their health reperc…
Regionally differentiated promotion of electric vehicles in China considering environmental and human health impacts
Open AccessYan Ru Fang, Xin Sun et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023
Private passenger vehicles, with its high emissions of CO 2 and air pollutants, poses a severe threat to global climate and human health, particularly for a large developing country like China. Although both energy efficiency improvement of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) and the wide adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) could contribute to reducing emissions, how they should be jointly implemented in provinces with a heterogeneous con…
Achieving carbon neutrality enables China to attain its industrial water-use target

Uncovering the key mechanisms of how deep decarbonization benefits air pollution alleviation in China
Open AccessXiaorui Liu, Chaoyi Guo et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022
Addressing climate change and air pollution goals in conjunction would be efficient and cost-effective. Dealing with these two challenges is a common issue for urban clusters pursuing sustainable development. Expected to become the fourth international first-class bay area, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) takes the lead in exploring a green and low-carbon transition path as a key element of being a pioneering economic reform …
Global, regional, and national progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 for neonatal and child health
Open AccessKatherine R Paulson, Katherine Paulson et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2021
BACKGROUND: Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 has targeted elimination of preventable child mortality, reduction of neonatal death to less than 12 per 1000 livebirths, and reduction of death of children younger than 5 years to less than 25 per 1000 livebirths, for each country by 2030. To understand current rates, recent trends, and potential trajectories of child mortality for the next decade, we present the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, a…
A review of trends and drivers of greenhouse gas emissions by sector from 1990 to 2018
Open AccessWilliam F Lamb, Thomas Wiedmann et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021
Global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be traced to five economic sectors: energy, industry, buildings, transport and AFOLU (agriculture, forestry and other land uses). In this topical review, we synthesise the literature to explain recent trends in global and regional emissions in each of these sectors. To contextualise our review, we present estimates of GHG emissions trends by sector from 1990 to 2018, describing the major sources of emissi…
Co-benefits of deep carbon reduction on air quality and health improvement in Sichuan Province of China
Open AccessSilu Zhang, Yazhen Wu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021
Facing the dual challenges of air pollution and climate change, China has set ambitious goals and made decisive efforts to reduce its carbon emission and win the ‘Battle for Blue Sky’. However, how the low-carbon transition and air quality targets could be simultaneously achieved at the sub-national levels remains unclear. The questions arise whether province-level climate change mitigation strategies could help ease the air pollution and close t…
Five insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
Open AccessChristopher J L Murray, Cristiana Abbafati et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2020
Measuring the sustainable development implications of climate change mitigation
Open AccessShinichiro Fujimori, Tomoko Hasegawa et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020
Synergies and trade-offs exist between climate mitigation actions and target indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Some studies have assessed such relationships, but the degree of such interaction remains poorly understood. Here, we show the SDG implications associated with CO 2 emissions reductions. We developed ‘marginal SDG-emissions-reduction values (MSVs)’, which represent the marginal impacts on SDG indicators caused by a …
Economic Impacts from PM 2.5 Pollution-Related Health Effects in China
Yang Xie, Hancheng Dai et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Technology2016
This study evaluates the PM2.5 pollution-related health impacts on the national and provincial economy of China using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model and the latest nonlinear exposure-response functions. Results show that the health and economic impacts may be substantial in provinces with a high PM2.5 concentration. In the WoPol scenario without PM2.5 pollution control policy, we estimate that China experiences a 2.00% GDP loss and …
Will international emissions trading help achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement
Open AccessShinichiro Fujimori, Izumi Kubota et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016
Under the Paris Agreement, parties set and implement their own emissions targets as nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to tackle climate change. International carbon emissions trading is expected to reduce global mitigation costs. Here, we show the benefit of emissions trading under both NDCs and a more ambitious reduction scenario consistent with the 2 °C goal. The results show that the global welfare loss, which was measured based on es…

Open AccessShinichiro Fujimori, Tomoko Hasegawa et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2016Cited by: 43References: 6
This study quantifies the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) using AIM/CGE (Asia-Pacific Integrated Assessment/Computable General Equilibrium). SSP3 (regional rivalry) forms the main focus of the study, which is supposed to face high challenges both in mitigation and adaptation. The AIM model has been selected as the model to quantify the SSP3 marker scenario, a representative case illustrating a particular narrative. Multiple parameter assumpt…
An impact assessment of sustainable technologies for the Chinese urban residential sector at provincial level
Open AccessRui Xing, Tatsuya Hanaoka et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015
Recently, energy use in the urban residential sector of China has drastically increased due to higher incomes and urbanization. The fossil fuels dominant energy supply has since worsened the air quality, especially in urban areas. In this study we estimate the future energy service demands in Chinese urban residential areas, and then use an AIM/Enduse model to evaluate the emission reduction potential of CO _2 , SO _2 , NO _x and PM. Considering …
