Climate change presents a significant global coordination challenge. Climate action is inextricably linked to macroeconomics, social development, and geopolitics, while supply chain security and international trade are vital to achieving global climate goals. iGDP works to raise climate ambition, drive climate action and regional cooperation on green, low-carbon technologies. iGDP also fosters a green, low-carbon, and just transition across the Global South.
Decarbonizing energy systems is pivotal for achieving sustainable development and carbon neutrality, requiring holistic transitions across the power, industry, building, and transport sectors. China and other emerging economies face a dual challenge: building modern energy systems that ensure access, equity, and economic growth, while also delivering a secure, efficient, and low-carbon energy transition. iGDP is committed to accelerating the transition to a zero-carbon energy system without compromising sustainable economic development or social equity.
Controlling emissions of non-CO₂ pollutants is critical to preventing climate overshoot and achieving the 1.5°C goal. Mitigation actions are deeply interlinked with development priorities including public health, food security, rural development, and air quality. iGDP accelerates mitigation of key gases and pollutants, including methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases, and black carbon. We do this by promoting systemic solutions across the energy, agriculture, industry, and waste sectors to advance mid-to-long-term climate and green transition objectives.
Fostering a comprehensive green and low-carbon transition in economic and social development requires establishing a supportive financial system. iGDP monitors the evolution of green and low-carbon elements within macroeconomic policy, focusing on research related to green pricing, environmental taxes, carbon taxes, green transformation of major projects, electricity pricing, and transition finance. This work aims to enable public and private investments to play a more foundational role in driving the green economic transition.
iGDP maintains three analytical tools to help researchers and policymakers better understand China’s progress in low-carbon development.
China LOGIC (Low-carbon & Green Index for Cities) is a new city index system designed to measure and inform China’s progress on the goals of low-carbon and green development. It provides a system to track progress, a database to evaluate performance, and an analytical tool to help cities identify improved solutions for low carbon and clean energy development, and early carbon peaking.
China Carbon Neutrality Tracker (CCNT) is an online database that tracks, analyzes, and evaluates China’s carbon neutrality actions at the national, industry, and regional levels. CCNT provides information for climate professionals, supporting the global zero-carbon transition.
Energy Policy Simulator China Model 2024 (EPS China 2024) is a system dynamics model that simulates and evaluates the impact of energy and climate policies on energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, pollutant emissions, investment demand, and related macro-level social and economic indicators.
