Policies and Investments to Address Climate Change and Air Quality in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region

This report shows how air quality in the People's Republic of China's fast-growing Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei industrial hub has deteriorated and presents an integrated, cost-effective model to reduce carbon emissions and other pollutants.

Analyzing the costs and benefits of different scenarios, it sets out a modeling framework and shows how adapting policies can help boost the region's development, environment, and public well-being. It explores how increasing energy efficiency and reducing fossil fuel consumption can improve air quality and help the PRC meet its commitment to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.
