About the Harvard-China Project on Energy, Economy, and Environment
Founded in 1993 and based in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the Harvard-China Project on Energy, Economy and Environment (“Harvard-China Project”) conducts rigorous, peer-reviewed studies with partner institutions in China of the global challenges of climate change, air quality, energy systems, economic development, public health, and policy. It provides natural, applied, and social scientific evidence for the design of innovative and effective policies to confront these challenges in middle and high income countries around the world.
The Harvard-China Project prides itself on its interdisciplinary scope, rooted in collaborations among scholars from atmospheric sciences, climate science, energy science, electrical engineering, economics, urban studies, environmental health, and policy. It is also fully committed to equal partnership of scholars at Harvard and its collaborating institutions in China.
