The Research Center for Pollution and Carbon Reduction Evaluation operates within the overarching framework involving the three strategic tasks of the sustainable and fundamental improvement of the ecological environment, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, as well as economic and social development and comprehensive green transformation. In cooperation with organizations including Peking University, Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, Aerospace Information Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Process Engineering of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, Sichuan Academy of Environmental Policy and Planning, and Chengdu Academy of Environmental Sciences, the center is led by academicians and experts such as Zhang Yuanhang and Li Haisheng, and has attracted dozens of authoritative experts and backbone personnel from related disciplines to carry out original scientific research and integration including collaborative policies, technologies, monitoring, and model systems for pollution and carbon reduction. With joint efforts, the center aims to promote the synergistic development of energy-resources-economy-society-ecology-environment-climate-health and assisting in achieving synergetic control of pollution and carbon reduction and comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development.

Based on the regional characteristics of Sichuan Province, the center conducts in-depth policy research and simulation of pollution and carbon reduction and explores the pathway of synergistic control. Through multi-dimensional simulation and analysis of economy, society, environment, climate, ecology, and health, the center proposes and improves multi-level and multi-dimensional supporting policies for pollution and carbon reduction. Additionally, the center establishes an evaluation platform for pollution and carbon reduction to guide and quantify the effectiveness of pollution and carbon reduction, and promotes the continuous improvement of air quality and the realization of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Such endeavors hold significant importance in guiding Sichuan’s comprehensive green economic and social transformation, providing scientific decision-making support for the realization of the “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” goals.
