#  China Project Summer 2017 Newsletter 

 





October 02, 2017

 

 

 This summer was active and fruitful for the Harvard-China Project and its investigations of the “China 2030/2050” theme sponsored by the Harvard Global Institute (HGI). Summer provided time for intensive research progress in fields as diverse as haze pollution chemistry; grid integration of renewable power; household consumption, welfare and inequality; valuing environmental health risk over time; the impacts of interprovincial trade on air pollution; the carbon cycle in northern China; and the effects of changing land use and income on travel behavior in Chengdu.

 On the educational front, we joined forces with [Tsinghua University](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.tsinghua.edu.cn_publish_enven_&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=6tWqL1Ao0_4MYfKR1LC-4Ekx5slsF330lK0IQsmWXbc&m=Mbt6BTO1K7hm83oZ5JRZN_UNgpgetRZQggF784ieKVo&s=2Ya6QEv9cP7Iyzt47EDH4B6rkWcpzoyU6v-fiiqEoUs&e=) to bring thirty Harvard undergraduate students to Beijing with students from China and around the world for a summer program to experience and learn about China’s environment. We also held two policy consultations with China’s top leaders on environment and climate, [Minister XIE Zhenhua](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__en.ndrc.gov.cn_&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=6tWqL1Ao0_4MYfKR1LC-4Ekx5slsF330lK0IQsmWXbc&m=Mbt6BTO1K7hm83oZ5JRZN_UNgpgetRZQggF784ieKVo&s=SeUg4WM_MBEg3EXAZY8trxt9gcOStu3mV6HW2jlZCfc&e=), special envoy on climate, and [Minister LI Ganjie](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__-2520http-3A__english.mep.gov.cn_&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=6tWqL1Ao0_4MYfKR1LC-4Ekx5slsF330lK0IQsmWXbc&m=Mbt6BTO1K7hm83oZ5JRZN_UNgpgetRZQggF784ieKVo&s=rgAMQVs6YDCLb1H4QOv4C6iUVBMt5zG_Jxu52xBR4fI&e=), the new minister of environment.
