In December 2021, with the support of Energy Foundation China, Shanghai Economic Information Center and Shanghai Academy of Environmental Sciences jointly released this report exploring a synergetic control strategy for greenhouse gases and criteria air pollutants in Shanghai for the period of 2021 to 2025.

The report summarizes and reviews Shanghai’s major greenhouse gas and air pollution actions since 2010, and uses a quantitative model to analyze the contribution of greenhouse gases and air pollutant emissions by different sectors and to estimate the synergistic effects of their control measures. The report also proposes key co-control actions for the next five years based on a cost-benefit analysis and puts forward recommendations for supporting policies and tools.
