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.
