“Shuang Tan“ is a weekly newsletter that I launched in February 2022.
At Shuang Tan, I track China’s policies and actions toward achieving its climate pledges of peaking carbon emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060. Hence the name: “Shuang Tan” is shorthand for China’s “dual-carbon” goals (“双碳”, pinyin: Shuāng Tàn).
The newsletter includes curated news, fresh analysis, and exclusive interviews on China’s decarbonization drive.
You can subscribe here to get the articles delivered to your inbox every week.
