SUMMARY:China’s Anthropogenic Methane Emissions: A Review of Current Bottom-Up Inventories
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Zhang Bo\, Visiting Scholar\, Harvard-China Project; Associate Professor\, State Key Laboratory of Coal Resources and Safe Mining\, China University of Mining & Technology (Beijing) \nMethane (CH4) is the second ranking anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG)\, with a global warming potential (GWP) 28 times greater than that of carbon dioxide (CO2) on a mass basis. In contrast to the ever-increasing focus at China’s CO2 emissions\, its CH4 emissions have received little attention. Yet China is believed to be the world’s largest CH4 emitter\, contributing more to climate change than the total CO2 emitted by many developed countries. Increasing CH4 emissions may be quietly undermining China’s efforts to mitigate its total GHG emissions. This seminar will present an overview of bottom-up estimation of China’s CH4 emissions\, including recent research advances and the limits of current understanding. \nSponsored by Harvard-China Project on Energy\, Economy and Environment\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences \nhttps://chinaproject.harvard.edu/event/china%E2%80%99s-anthropogenic-methane-emissions-review-current-bottom-inventories

SUMMARY:Building Energy Efficiency Regulations in China: Policies and Trends
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Barbara Finamore\, Senior Attorney and Asia Director\, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) \nAbstract: Energy used in buildings is responsible for 30% of China’s CO2 emissions\, a percentage that is expected to grow as China continues to urbanize and transition to a service economy. China has developed a variety of policy tools designed to reduce building energy consumption and waste\, including building energy codes\, policies and programs to promote the green building sector\, and targets and incentives to expand energy efficiency retrofits for existing buildings. This presentation will outline some of China’s key policies and initiatives to improve building energy efficiency\, discusses several outstanding challenges and conclude with an overview of latest developments. \nCo-sponsored by the China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, and the Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities\, Harvard Graduate School of Design

SUMMARY:Environmental Public Interest Litigation in China: Cases and Reform
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Barbara Finamore\, Senior Attorney and Asia Director\, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) \nOn January 1\, 2015\, amendments to China’s Environmental Protection Law went into effect that would allow an estimated 700 Chinese NGOs to bring lawsuits against polluters on behalf of the public interest. The Supreme People’s Court then issued an authoritative “interpretation” that provides clarification and needed details to this new public interest environmental law system.  These new rules appear to be designed\, in many ways\, to make it easier for Chinese NGOs to sue polluters. Yet many challenges still remain.  This presentation will provide an overview of the current status of environmental public interest litigation in China\, including case studies\, challenges and reform efforts. \nCo-sponsored by the East Asian Legal Studies Program\, Harvard Law School; China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences; and Environmental Law Program\, Harvard Law School

SUMMARY:Ancestral Halls: Their Life After Death
DESCRIPTION:From the late fifteenth century to the mid-twentieth century over 6\,000 ancestral halls (祠堂) were constructed in Huizhou 徽州\, a prefecture at the southern end of Anhui province.  Usually understood to represent the growing attachment of families to the establishment of lineage authority in their villages\, Huizhou’s ancestral halls soon acquired a variety of functions mentioned neither in classical Confucian nor neo-Confucian texts.  In exploring how these ancestral halls were built Dr. McDermott’s talk will investigate how their newly acquired functions helped attract kinsmen to the growing number and activities of these halls\, and how these halls’ hold over successive generations of lineages was linked to the rise and growth of the Huizhou merchants\, south China’s most successful regional group of merchants from the fifteenth to the mid-nineteenth century.  The talk will end with a consideration of how the long-term institutional changes in Huizhou villages from the early Ming to the Qing\, that culminated in the rise of these ancestral halls\, might provide us with a more agent-based set of categories for understanding how major institutional changes in village life from the fourteenth to twentieth century were perceived by ordinary Chinese themselves as the outgrowth of options arising from their villages’ institutional changes. \nSpeaker: Joseph McDermott\, St. John’s College\, University of Cambridge. After a BA (Eng.Lit.)  at Yale\, Joseph McDermott 周紹明 embarked on another BA and then a Ph.D. in Chinese Studies in the UK.  Drawn initially to the study of modern China\, his struggles with pre-modern Chinese literature very quickly drew him into the study of pre-modern Chinese history\, a decision he has never regretted.  His studies of the Song and then the Ming dynasties have had him undertake research and enjoy long overseas stays in Japan and China\, before ending up at St John’s College\, U. of Cambridge\, where he has taught since 1990.  An interest in China’s cultural history prompted him to write A Social History of the Chinese Book (2006) and edit State and Court Ritual in China (1999)\, but his overriding interest since his undergraduate days has been the changes in how ordinary Chinese people lived from the Tang dynasty up to the late Qing.  Hence\, his recent studies include the Song economy for the recent The Cambridge History of China\, Volume 5 Part II\, Song China as well as his two volumes on Huizhou lineages and merchants (The Making of a New Rural Order in South China\, Volume I: Village\, Land\, Lineage in Huizhou\, 900-1600\, Cambridge University Press\, 2014; Volume II to appear later this year).

SUMMARY:Hidden Air: Urbanization\, the Built Environment\, and Indoor Air Quality in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Gary Adamkiewicz\, Assistant Professor of Environmental Health and Exposure Disparities\, Department of Environmental Health\, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health \nChina’s recent economic growth and rate of urbanization are unprecedented in human history.  These driving forces create great opportunities and present significant challenges.  While cities have always been engines of creativity and innovation\, they can also put strains on natural systems\, often consume energy unsustainably and produce environmental pollution which threatens human health. This motivates our key question: How do we create healthy and sustainable cities in the next century?  Few studies on the connections between the attributes of urban residential housing and health have been conducted in China.  Our recent studies\, including a large cross-sectional survey-based effort in Suzhou\, aim to address some key questions on how the built environment can shape population health.  This seminar will highlight some of our efforts to understand how indoor and outdoor environments are changing in China in ways that directly impact health.  We will also discuss how indoor environments can mitigate some of the health risks from outdoor air pollution. \nSpeaker Bio: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/gary-adamkiewicz/\nFor more information\, visit https://chinaproject.harvard.edu/

SUMMARY:Long-Term Trend and Spatial Pattern of PM2.5-Induced Premature Mortality in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: WANG Haikun\, Associate Professor\, School of Environment\, Nanjing University \nSponsored by the China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. \nWith rapid economic growth\, China has witnessed increasingly frequent and severe haze and smog episodes over the past decade\, posing serious health impacts to the Chinese population\, especially those in densely populated city clusters. Quantification of the spatial and temporal variation of health impacts attributable to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has important implications for China’s policies on air pollution control. In this study\, we evaluated the spatial distribution of premature deaths in China between 2000 and 2010 attributable to ambient PM2.5 in accord with the Global Burden of Disease based on a high resolution population density map of China\, satellite retrieved PM2.5concentrations\, and provincial health data. Our results suggest that China’s anthropogenic ambient PM2.5 led to 1\,255\,400 premature deaths in 2010\, 42% higher than the level in 2000. Besides increased PM2.5 concentration\, rapid urbanization has attracted large population migration into the more developed eastern coastal urban areas\, intensifying the overall health impact. In addition\, our analysis implies that health burdens were exacerbated in some developing inner provinces with high population density (e.g. Henan\, Anhui\, Sichuan) because of the relocation of more polluting and resource-intensive industries into these regions. In order to avoid such national level environmental inequities\, China’s regulations on PM2.5 should not be loosened in inner provinces. Furthermore policies should create incentive mechanisms that can promote transfer of advanced production and emissions control technologies from the coastal regions to the interior regions.

SUMMARY:China's National Cap-and-Trade Program: the Promise and the Reality
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: WANG Pu\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Harvard Kennedy School \nCo-sponsored by the China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, and the Environment and Natural Resources Program\, Harvard Kennedy School. \nChina’s national cap-and-trade program is regarded as a cornerstone of its climate policy outlined in the 13th Five-year plan (2016-2020)\, published right after the 2015 U.N. Climate Conference in Paris. Since China has accounted for two thirds of global emissions growth in the past decade\, its ambition to control carbon emissions could be a great contribution to the global effort in combating climate change. In addition to emission reduction\, China also intends to achieve two other goals through the program: to facilitate economic transition by reducing energy-inefficient industrial sectors and promoting low-carbon industries\, and to mitigate severe air pollution in the urban regions. But the program’s effectiveness is contingent on the right institutional settings at both macro and micro levels. The speaker will review the major challenges for the program in accomplishing the policy goals\, and discuss the efficiency and equity tradeoffs of different allowance allocation methods in the cap-and-trade program.
