On the afternoon of November 16th,2017,Dr.Mi Zhifu from University College London visited CEEP-BIT and gave a talk entitled “Chinese reversing emission flows”.The report was hosted by Prof.Yu Biying.Many students attended the report.

　　Dr.Mi Zhifu is currently a lifelong researcher at the University College London(UCL).He is also Associate Editor of the Journal of Cleaner Production (Impact Factor 5.715), and an Outstanding PhD candidate in Chinese Economics. His research interests include climate change economics, energy policy and input-output analysis. In the past five years, more than 20 SCI / SSCI papers have been published in Nature Communications (Impact Factor 12.124), among which 4 are highly cited papers in ESI and 2 are published in ESI hot papers. 

　　As for today’s report,Dr.Mi Zhifu talked about his latest research about Chinese carbon flows.The study seeks to estimate the carbon implications of recent changes in China’s economic development patterns and role in global trade in the post-financial-crisis era. The results show that some economically less developed regions, such as Southwest China, have shifted from being a net emission exporter to being a net emission importer. In terms of foreign trade, emissions embodied in China’s exports declined from 2007 to 2012 mainly due to changes in production structure and efficiency gains, while developing countries became the major destination of China’s export emissions.

　　After the report,Dr.Mi Zhifu took a picture with teachers and students.
