Features: "China's Technological Choices and Policy Evaluation for Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction" is one of the research topics under the National Key Technology R&D Program of the 9th Five-Year Plan in China's field of climate change, supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology. As developed countries exert increasing pressure on developing countries regarding greenhouse gas emission reduction, studying and identifying key areas and priority technologies for China to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in the next 30 years is a crucial foundation for formulating medium- and long-term national development strategies for China's economy and society that take climate change into account. It will also directly serve and support China's environmental diplomacy efforts. Through three years of research, the practice has proven that the design of this topic is scientifically sound and forward-looking. The research scope (field) determined by this topic has been a weak link in climate change research in the past few years, yet it is a field with significant impact on the national economy and industrial development, yet lacks information, and is also a key area for national investment. It is an area urgently in need of research. The topic focuses on practical, operable, and practical issues that are closely related to the national economy and social development, and that both developing and developed countries face.
