Study Evaluates China’s Measures to Achieve the 1.5°C Warming Limit
Written by AZoCleantechApr 23 2021
Almost all nations in the world agreed to take measures to restrict the average increase in worldwide surface temperature to within 2°C, or preferably 1.5°C than preindustrial levels, in accordance with the Paris Agreement.

But from the time the Agreement was signed, concerns about global warming propose that nations should aim for the 1.5°C preferable warming limit.
For China, what are the consequences of making attempts to achieve this lower limit?
Professor Hongbo Duan from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Professor Shouyang Wang from the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their colleagues have tried to find a solution to this question.

As part of the Paris Agreement, nearly all countries agreed to take steps to limit the average increase in global surface temperature to less than 2 °C, or preferably 1.5 °C, compared with preindustrial levels. Since the Agreement was adopted, however, concerns about global warming suggest that countries should aim for the preferable warming limit of 1.5 °C.
What are the implications for China of trying to achieve this lower limit?
Prof. DUAN Hongbo from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. WANG Shouyang from the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with their collaborators, have attempted to answer this question.
