We grossly underestimated economic growth in China.
Estimating energy and economic growth in China is a long-standing problem.

ExerciseModelingThe Asia Modeling Exercise
Some emerging observations
Data is a big issue—history is uncertain
Modelers exhibit a variety of definitions for “China”China 22 vs. China 23China bundled with other countries
To say nothing of the variety of future scenarios that the modelers have developed.

China’s Energy Consumption between 2005-2095
The same trend as global energy consumptionOverall, the growth is much faster than the global average.

Mitigation under the Three SSPs We assumed a common global price of carbon applied to ALL emissions (fossil fuel and land-use change).
RCP 2.6 is an overshoot scenarioOther stabilization scenarios are “not-to-exceed”.
We observe difference in the initial price required to stabilize among the SSPs. Of course, the big difference in price is between stabilization goals

Key Points
China has been surprisingly successful historically—with higher energy and emissions than modelers assumed.We should not forget that the future of China is uncertain.We have begun to look at different potential developments—beginning with the demographictransition.Demographics alone lead to increasingly divergent scenarios with increasingly divergent scales.Assumptions about Chinese local air quality policy could be played out in climate change experienced by the rest of the world.
