Strategy for coordinating near-term PM_2.5, ozone, and CO₂ mitigation in China.

ABSTRACT: China faces the challenge of simultaneously improving fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) and ozone (O₃) air quality while tackling climate change. However, most studies have focused on either the cocontrol of PM_2.5 and O₃ or the synergy between CO₂ reduction and PM_2.5 improvement, leaving comprehensive strategies for tackling all three underexplored. Here, we evaluate various combinations of clean-air and climate policies in China using an integrated framework that consists of a technology-based emission projection model, a goal-oriented measure selection and optimization method, a chemical transport model, and a detailed cost-benefit assessment approach. Our results show that while maintaining current clean-air policies is eff
