The California-China Climate Institute hosted a two-day webinar celebrating our two year anniversary. We explored the latest updates in subnational climate policy through a set of climate action themes throughout this two-day program, featuring high-level issue-experts from government, academia, and civil society, including Institute Chair and former California Governor Jerry Brown.
New research from The California-China Climate Institute provides an overview of international best-practices in addressing short-lived climate pollutants. Short-lived climate pollutants, or SLCPs, like methane, black carbon, or ozone, remain in the atmosphere for shorter periods of time yet still contribute to planetary warming. The latest science from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change indicates that it is essential to also address these short-lived pollutants - in addition to carbon dioxide - to help meet the 1.5 degree Celsius threshold to avert the worst impacts of climate change.
This event was a discussion of new research from the California-China Climate Institute on how the U.S. and China’s can partner together to achieve decarbonization.
The California-China Climate Institute launched the report “Energy Efficiency and Air Quality Strategies in the U.S. and China: A review of best-practices for buildings, transport, and industry.” After a history of energy efficiency’s inclusion in California’s climate policies and their implications for the buildings sector, panelists turned to best-practices and recommendations for efficiency improvements in the transport and cement sectors in China.
Wildfires are both a driver and an impact of climate change. This webinar explored the dynamics and relationship between fire and climate change in California and China and how land management and policy strategies can be used to reduce emissions and fire risks.
California and China are applying nature-based solutions in their efforts to address the intertwined global challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss. Last year, California committed to integrated nature-based strategies into efforts to achieve carbon neutrality and also protect biodiversity.
The California-China Climate Institute held a webinar presenting key messages that have emerged from some of our work and a discussion on how to move forward implementing a net-zero emissions framwork and recommendations.
U.S. and Chinese climate issue-experts held a virtual dialogue exploring barriers and opportunities that exist for China’s carbon neutrality goals.
China has called for incorporating nature-based solutions in climate policies and as part of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. This webinar will present initial findings from research on nature-based solutions in China to better understand what this means in research, policy and practice.
