In 2024, the International Summer School Program on Climate Change and Related Risks will be held at Fudan University’s Jiangwan campus from July 21 to August 8, with a focus on climate change and air quality. These two global challenges are closely linked and have a combined impact on the health of our planet and its inhabitants. Research indicates that climate change may deteriorate air quality by altering emissions, reactions, and transport of chemical species as well as creating stagnant weather conditions that contribute to the occurrence of severe air pollution episodes. Conversely, air pollutants can also influence climate change. Particulate matters, which pose significant risks to human health, can have either a cooling or warming effect on the atmosphere, depending on its properties. It is widely recognized that climate actions, such as reducing fossil fuel consumption and transitioning to clean energy sources, not only help mitigate climate change but also lead to substantial improvements in air quality. Gaining a deeper understanding of the intricate relationships between climate change and air quality is of utmost importance.

The program is organized into three modules:(a) Science Basis of Climate Change, (b) Climate Change Governance, and (c) Climate Change – Air Quality – Health Nexus. The summer school will be conducted entirely in English.
