Nature Conference
on Air Pollution and Climate Change
2024.5.22-24 Beijing, China
Background
Background
Climate change and air pollution are two important environmental challenges with great impacts on the planet and humans. Addressing one issue may have positive or negative effects on the other. The Institute for Carbon Neutrality and School of Environment at Tsinghua University, Nature Geoscience, Nature, Nature Climate Change, Nature Energy, Nature Cities, Nature Reviews Earth and Environment, and Communications Earth and Environment will host Nature Conference on Air Pollution and Climate Change in Beijing on May 22-24, 2024. The event aims to provide a platform for natural and social scientists as well as policymakers to discuss interactions of these two issues, benefits of tackling them, and actions for joint mitigation.
Air pollution and climate change are major challenges facing the world today, and the scientific community is paying increasing attention to their interconnections and interactions. Integrating atmospheric science, environmental science, and other disciplines is essential for addressing these issues and represents a key frontier in current research. Against this background, the Institute for Carbon Neutrality and the School of Environment at Tsinghua University, together with Nature, will host the Nature Conference on Air Pollution and Climate Change in Beijing on May 22-24, 2024. The conference will provide a platform for natural and social scientists and policymakers from China and abroad to exchange ideas, promote frontier and interdisciplinary research on air pollution and climate change, support air quality improvement, and accelerate climate action.
