Jinan University, in collaboration with several other universities and research centers, has undertaken a critical research project on the sources, transformation, and environmental effects of atmospheric active carbon content. The project, which is part of the National Key R&D Program's Comprehensive Treatment of Atmospheric, Soil, and Groundwater Pollution, aims to address the bottleneck problem of atmospheric carbon content and improve the ecological environment quality in China.

The launch and implementation plan demonstration meeting of the project was held from March 18th to 20th, 2024, at the Panyu campus of Jinan University. The meeting was attended by more than 70 people, including experts and leaders from various universities and research centers, such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijng University and Fudan University.

During the meeting, Wang Lei, director of the Resources and Environment Division of China Agenda 21 Management Center, emphasized the importance of studying the carbon content in the atmosphere and requested the project team to strive for new breakthroughs in carbon content research. Hong An, vice president of Jinan University, welcomed and thanked the leaders and experts attending the conference and expressed the university's full support for the project.

The project is led by Professor Shao Min from Jinan University and jointly implemented by several other universities and research centers. The project aims to create an innovative chain of measurement, source, mechanism, and prediction, forming a win-win emission reduction strategy based on active air quality and climate change.

The convening of this meeting has laid a solid foundation for the efficient implementation of the project. The expert group fully affirmed the solid work of the project team and provided specific technical suggestions. The project team hopes to complete major national tasks with high quality and enhance the scientific and technological competitiveness of China's atmospheric environment.
