Environmental science in China

Rapid economic growth in China has led to high levels of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution. This June Beijing hosts the 9th International Carbon Dioxide Conference, which aims to improve our understanding of the global carbon cycle and its perturbations by anthropogenic activities and climate. In this context Nature presents a selection of research with significant contributions from scientists based in China together with comment and news articles that discuss environmental science in China.
