Study Examines the Climate Impact of Reducing Aerosols Through China's Clean Air Initiatives

This study is led by Prof. Yang Yang from Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology when China pursues the carbon neutrality goal and the long-term air quality target, aerosol reductions will cause temperature increase over eastern China and enhance precipitation over southern China. Black carbon (BC) emission reduction can effectively mitigate the warming effect caused by other aerosol emission reduction under the carbon neutrality.
