lobal environmental issues have aroused

concern over the sustainability of human de-

velopment, while also providing a cooperation

opportunity for solving the common problems

facing mankind. The College of Environmen-

tal Sciences and Engineering (CESE), Peking

University established the research team per-

forming integrated and multiply disciplinary

studies covering a wide range of research

areas, from fundamental academic issues,

technologies and alternatives, and policies

of global environmental problems, which pro-

vides important support for the negotiations

and implementation of various global environ-

mental agreements.

The Montreal Protocol on the Protection

of the Ozone Layer, praised by Kofi Annan

as “perhaps the single most successful interna-

tional environmental agreement to date” , is

a prime example of global cooperation on

environmental issues. Our research team was

the most important institution providing deci-

sion-making support to the Chinese govern-

ment for implementing the Montreal Protocol.

As early as the late 1980s, our team worked

as a counselor for the government before

acceding to the Vienna Convention for the

Protection of the Ozone Layer. In the 1990s,

we discovered that, from the perspective of

atmospheric chemistry and physics, there

were climate and environmental side effects

as a result of using HFC-134a as a substitute.

In 1993, China's Country Program for the pha-

seout of Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS),

spearheaded by our team, was adopted by the

United Nations Environment Program and the

Chinese government. It was the first national

program of the Montreal Protocol and became

a model for other countries as they developed

their own national programs. Moreover,

we proposed and constructed an innovative

sector-based ODS phaseout plan which was

proved to be cost-effective. According to the

assessment by World Bank, it helped reduce

27% of the cost and was recommended by the

Multilateral Fund as a mechanism suitable

for other countries. The ODS quota trading

system, designed by the team, was adopted by

the Chinese government as one of the earliest

examples of market based instruments for

pollution control in China.

The protect ion of the ozone layer is

closely related to climate change. In the past

decades, our research team has studied the

climate impact of man-made chemicals, using

discharging and monitoring methods from bot-

tom-up and top-down to analyze the sources of

CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs, together with their

impacts. The study showed that in the effort

to protect the ozone layer, China has reduced

large amounts of halogenated hydrocarbon

greenhouse gases and alleviated climate

warming together with the international

community. Our suggestions on the phase-out

plan of CFCs and HCFCs were adopted and

implemented by the Chinese government, and

in just the year 2010, the net annual avoided

emissions of halogenated hydrocarbons

greenhouse gases was equivalent to 1 billion

tons of carbon dioxide. An article, published

by the team in early 2016, pointed out that

China, whose HFCs were rapidly increasing,

would play an unprecedentedly important role

in the global reduction of HFCs. The article

proposed a HFCs control schedule in China,

this helps the Chinese government to sign the

Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol in

October 2016.

Solving the global environmental issues

is contingent on social, economic, scientific

acknowledge and technological alternatives.

The PKU team will continue its research on

the fundamental issues and implementation

strategies of international conventions on

climate change, ozone layer depletion and

chemicals (persistent organic pollutants and

mercury). The research will involve the risk

identification and assessment of these issues

(relevant substances or contaminants), paying

more attention to risk management as related

to both development and protection at the

national, regional and global levels.

CESE cordially welcomes job applicants

and visiting scholars with expertise in related

areas such as environmental management and

implementation of international conventions.

I. Introduction to

the University and ForumNanchang University is located in

Nanchang City, a famous historical

and cultural city – the "Hero City" in

China, which has a history of nearly

one hundred years. It is a national

"211 Project" key construction univer-

sity, China's "Double First-Class" con-

struction of first-rate disciplines and

the only university in Jiangxi Province

with high-level overall construction,

and is one of the 14 universities in the

central and western regions that are

supported by the Ministry of Educa-

tion in a construction mode of minis-

terial -provincial cooperation.

The university has five campus-

es, namely Qianhu Lake, Qingshan

Lake, Donghu Lake, Poyang Lake,

and Fuzhou. The main campus

- Qianhu Lake covers an area of

4,500 mu and the building area of

the school building is 1,300,000

square meters.

The university now has three depart-

ments, including humanities and social

sciences, science and engineering, and

medical science. There are two national

key disciplines (food science, materials

physics and chemistry) and one nation-

al key (cultivation) discipline (material

processing engineering). There are

currently a national key laboratory,

a national engineering technology

research center, a key research base of

humanities and social sciences of the

Ministry of Education, two key labo-

ratories of the Ministry of Education,

three engineering research centers of

the Ministry of Education, and nine

collaborative innovation centers of

Jiangxi Province. There are authorized

first-level disciplines for 15 academic

doctoral degrees, 11 post-doctoral

research mobile stations, and the uni-

versity has 5 affiliated hospitals. Five

disciplines including chemistry, clinical

medicine, agricultural science (based

mainly on food science and engineer-

ing), engineering, andmaterials science

entered the top 1% of ESI in the United

States. The discipline of food science

and engineering was evaluated as A in

the fourth round of China Discipline

Ranking, ranking third in universities

nationwide.
