Air Quality, Health, & Climate Co-Benefits of a Clean Energy Transition in China

In this China Energy Dialogue, Denise Mauzerall, the William S. Tod Professor of Environmental Engineering and International Affairs at Princeton University, will introduce China’s remarkable progress on energy and air quality.

Reducing the emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, via both supply and demand side approaches, have synergies and co-benefits for air quality, public health, climate, and food security. At Princeton, Mauzerall's group examines the supply and demand sides of the power, residential, industry, and transport sectors and, where possible, identifies opportunities and synergies between sectors that enhance mitigation of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions. Their work involves rigorous technical analyses of mitigation strategies, including energy, air pollution, and economic modeling, and provides useful insights to inform decarbonization, air quality, and health policy. Recent research has focused on opportunities in China, India, and the United States.
