• Research on Adaptation-Mitigation Synergies (commissioned by Chinese Academy of Engineering)
Project core member 2023.9-2024.6
• Investigated the theoretical foundations of adaptation-mitigation synergies, exploring their conceptual definitions, historical evolution, and interaction mechanisms to provide empirical evidence to support policymaking.
• The research results were published in a Chinese core journal and included in the "Xinhua Digest".
III. Research on National Energy and Carbon Emission Models
• Tsinghua University-Princeton University "Net Zero China" joint research project
Project core member 2024.6-Present
• As the core member, I took the lead in completing the establishment of research methods and databases for China's provincial-scale energy consumption and carbon emission models in building sector.
• The written technical documents were referenced and learned by other countries in multiple project alliances.
IV. The carbon neutrality path for regions and cities in China
• Research on Beijing’s Climate Change Response Pathways and Measures for the 15th Five-Year Plan Period (Commissioned by Beijing Climate Change Management Center)
Project core member 2025.6-2026.3
• Independently developed energy consumption and carbon emission models aligned with national policies, systematically analyzed Beijing’s development status, phased characteristics, emission structures of key sectors, and critical challenges. Research outcomes directly provided data foundations and decision-making support for formulating Beijing’s 15th Five-Year Plan for climate change response, enhancing the plan’s forward-looking and scientific rigor.
• Research on the Management of Key Energy-Consuming and Carbon-Emitting Entities and Coordination Mechanism of the Carbon Market in Shenzhen (Commissioned by Shenzhen NDRC)
Project core member 2025.6-2026.3
• Independently developed energy consumption and carbon emission models aligned with national policies, systematically analyzed Beijing’s development status, phased characteristics, emission structures of key sectors, and critical challenges. Research outcomes directly provided data foundations and decision-making support for formulating Beijing’s 15th Five-Year Plan for climate change response, enhancing the plan’s forward-looking and scientific rigor.
• China’s Provincial Carbon Peak Implementation Plans
Project core member 2022.11-2023.6
• proposed improvement plans and policy recommendations for regional coordination and differentiated carbon peak paths, providing important references for the achievement of regional dual-carbon goals. The research results are currently in the publishing process.
• Systematically sorted out China's urban-level dual-carbon policies and action effects, analyzed cutting-edge theories and practical cases of low-carbon cities at home and abroad, providing decision support for urban low-carbon development planning and management. The research report Urban Development and Response to Climate Change has currently been in the publishing process.
• Urban Development and Response to Climate Change (Commissioned by the Energy Foundation)
Project core member 2023.4-2025.3
• Systematically reviewed urban-level “dual carbon” policies and implementation outcomes in China, analyzed cutting-edge theories and best practices of low-carbon cities worldwide, and delivered decision support for urban low-carbon development planning and governance. The research output Urban Development and Response under Climate Change is currently in the publication process.
Research on Technical Pathways and Policy Mechanisms for Carbon Neutrality in China’s Building Sector (Commissioned by the Energy Foundation)
Project core member 2025.12-Present
• Key contributor to integrating deep decarbonization pathways for the building sector into the national “Five-Carbon Coordination” policy framework, and explored effective alignment with national carbon peaking and neutrality targets as well as local carbon budget management mechanisms. The project proposal has been finalized, with clear research routes and key policy interfaces identified, laying a theoretical foundation for the subsequent implementation of policy recommendations.
V. International Climate Governance
