Review of the 2018 Cambridge Forum
From September 30 to October 3, 2018, the CEADs team hosted the Applied Energy International Symposium (AEIS 2018), Energy-Water-Climate Nexus, at Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge. Participants came from more than 20 universities, research institutions, and publishers in China and abroad, including Professor Klaus Hubacek of the University of Maryland, Academician Shu Tao of Peking University, Academician Kebin He of Tsinghua University, Professor David Reiner of the University of Cambridge, Professor Steven J. Davis of the University of California, Senior Editor Juliane Mössinger of Nature, Dr. Xia Yang of Nature Communications, Professor Cecilia M. V. B. Almeida, Co-Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Cleaner Production, and Researcher Yutao Wang. Over the four-day conference, the invited experts delivered five presentations and engaged in extensive exchanges and in-depth discussions on the nexus of energy, water resources, and climate change.
Professor Klaus Hubacek of the University of Maryland analyzed economic and environmental trade-offs among food, energy, water resources, and carbon emissions at regional and global scales. He reviewed the rapid growth of nexus research in recent years, the many dimensions involved, and their recent work on clean air policy.
Academician Shu Tao of Peking University discussed trends in air pollution in China. Based on an emission inventory from 1960 to 2014 compiled by his team, he introduced research on transportation and indoor air-pollution modeling, climate change and health impacts, and evaluated relevant policies.
Academician Kebin He of Tsinghua University noted that rapid industrialization and rapid urbanization have brought about rapid motorization and severe smog, and he introduced the current status of emission control as well as future directions.
Professor David Reiner of the University of Cambridge shared how to explore balance in negative emissions from biomass energy.
Juliane Mössinger, Senior Editor at Nature, introduced Nature's article-selection criteria, handling process, and other submission considerations.
During a visit to the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, Professor Rod Jones, Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and his team introduced the design and manufacturing process of cutting-edge instruments for detecting atmospheric gas composition and monitoring carbon emissions.
