  • About
    The Institute of Carbon Neutrality at Peking University is committed to finding solutions to the climate crisis by accelerating the transition to a carbon-free future. We conduct interdisciplinary research that addresses the scientific, technological, economic, and political challenges of achieving carbon neutrality. Building on Peking University's historic strengths in the fields such as engineering, economics and public policy, we can develop groundbreaking technologies, policy proposals, and economic systems that will facilitate the transition to carbon-neutral economies. Our institute fosters collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and public stakeholders to develop practical solutions that can be implemented at a local, national, and global level. We also offer educational and training opportunities for students, policymakers, and industry professionals seeking to engage with cutting-edge research and technologies related to carbon neutrality. We believe that by bringing together experts from a wide range of fields, we hope to make a meaningful contribution to addressing the urgent challenge posed by climate change and working towards a sustainable future. Sciences Po was created because its founder, Emile Boutmy, wanted to build from scratch an institution of higher education that the elites of the time lacked. One hundred and fifty years later, Sciences Po has become an international research university with 14,000 students. But the foundation of our education remains driven by the same vocation: to better understand the world in order to change it for the better. Sciences Po stands out for combining approaches and confronting different worldviews. This tradition of diversity and multidisciplinary approach makes Sciences Po an active participant in public debate, a forum where thought meets action.
