The three-phases of research and engagement (2008–2023) of the ESRC-funded Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy (CCCEP) ended in December 2023. All CCCEP publications are available on this legacy website. Any new outputs will be uploaded to the site between 2024 and 2028.

Project 1a – Green Growth in Chinese Cities

Project staff: Andy Gouldson

Project update:

Basic data for the studies of Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin is now in place, a researcher from Leeds will be visiting Tsinnghua for 2 weeks in June to review everything and start to prepare the aggregated analysis and the final reports. Two papers have so far been prepared based on the work, the first has been published in Environmental Research Letters, the second is under review in Applied Energy. Once the analysis is finished the team will be focusing on more papers. This project also links closely with the EU-China DRAGON project where we have been expanding the territorial or production based approach to consider consumption-based carbon accounts and management plans for cities in the UK and China.

Further information on progress with this project will be provided shortly.
