OUR NEW PUBLICATIONS

Policy Brief on Methane
Beyond addressing climate change, reducing methane emissions can improve environmental quality, public health, and food security. Studies show that China's methane emissions could remain high by 2050, posing challenges to its carbon neutrality goal. In this policy brief, iGDP reviews recent international and Chinese policies related to methane reduction, highlights opportunities and challenges China faces in key sectors, and provides case studies and policy recommendations for effective emission reduction.

Policy Brief on Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas with a significant warming effect, and its emissions are rising globally, largely due to human activities such as agriculture. Reducing N2O emissions is critical for mitigating climate change. This policy brief examines the current state and trends of China’s N2O emissions, outlines key mitigation measures, and explores the opportunities and challenges China faces in addressing N2O emissions within its broader climate strategy.

Policy Brief on Renewable Energy Deployment
The "UAE Consensus" adopted at COP28 sets a global target to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. This policy brief outlines the current status and trends of renewable energy development both in China and worldwide, analyzes the gap toward the tripling renewable energy target, and examines the major opportunities and challenges for China’s rapid renewable energy development.
Downoad the Policy Brief
Policy Brief on Fluorinated Gases
Fluorinated gases (F-Gases), including HFCs, PFCs, SF6 and NF3, although accounting for a very small proportion of the total GHGs emissions, have an extremely high greenhouse effect. This iGDP policy brief summarizes China’s F-Gases emissions situation, policies and opportunities for emissions reduction. It is showing that, with the strengthening of control in the future, China has the opportunity to achieve near-zero emissions of F-Gases, which will help realize the 2060 carbon neutrality goal.

China Province-by-Province Carbon Neutrality Roadmap Analysis: Challenges and Opportunities
The iGDP modeling team developed EPS provincial models using subnational open-access data and policies, evaluated the current “1+N” policies and identified key regions and critical policy measures. This report identifies key regional gaps and sectoral challenges in climate efforts, offering insights on tailored subnational roadmaps for achieving carbon neutrality.

Energy Transition Pathways Supporting China's Carbon Neutrality — Based on EPS China 2024
The iGDP modeling team used the Energy Policy Simulator (EPS China 2024) to analyze energy and emissions trends from 2020 to 2060. The "1+N" policy framework can help peak emissions by 2030, but carbon neutrality by 2060—especially for non-CO2 gases—remains a challenge. Key focus areas include electrification, energy efficiency, power sector decarbonization, carbon pricing, and reducing methane and fluorinated gases.
