A Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies "Critical Issues Confronting China" talk featuring Chris Nielsen, Executive Director, Harvard China Project
Chris Nielsen is the executive director of the Harvard-China Project on Energy, Economy and Environment. Working with faculty at collaborating Chinese universities and across the schools of Harvard, he has managed and developed the interdisciplinary China Project from its inception.
This talk will seek to increase awareness of social scientists of some basic aspects of China’s air quality and climate change that are often poorly communicated, including the complexity and scales of these challenges and the limits of current scientific understanding. It will also suggest some implications for judging China’s environmental performance and for U.S.-China relations. The talk is designed for non-scientists and will not present any new research results of the Harvard-China Project.
Sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. Co-sponsored by the Harvard-China Project on Energy, Economy and Environment.
