Coupling natural-social models can better quantify the interactions in achieving carbon neutrality in China by Tianpeng Wang, Yixiong Lu, Fei Teng, Xiliang Zhang, Xiaoye Zhang, Min Wei, Tongwen Wu, Deying Wang, Jing Sun, Junting Zhong

“…However, traditional Earth System Models (ESMs) and integrated assessment models often split to simulate changes in the two systems and neglect the feedback between these systems, limiting our understanding of the pathways to carbon neutrality, the associated global warming level and climate change impacts. This study constructs a coupled natural-social systems framework to bridge this gap, integrating the China-in-global energy model with the Beijing Climate Center ESM version 1. …”
