Pu Yang

Pu Yang is a Researcher in the Climate Compatible Growth group and a Research Member of Common Room. Her work focuses on sustainable energy transitions, climate policy, and social impact assessment in low- and middle-income countries. She examines issues like green job development, carbon pricing strategies, and equitable climate mitigation pathways.

Her research emphasizes empirical analysis of energy access challenges in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa and Kenya, combining quantitative data (e.g., household surveys, environmental metrics) with policy analysis. She has pioneered datasets on climate resilience perceptions in African counties and evaluated the health benefits of air quality improvements in Chinese cities.

Pu Yang’s publications highlight methodological innovations (e.g., crowdsourced carbon footprint estimation) and critical policy gaps (e.g., inconsistent electrification measurement standards, fossil fuel-dependent economies’ transition challenges). Her work bridges technical climate modeling (e.g., integrated assessment models) with real-world socioeconomic implications, emphasizing equity in carbon removal strategies.

No scientific awards or formal grants are listed in the provided text. She advises no students, though her research collaborations imply potential mentorship roles. Her affiliations with the Climate Compatible Growth initiative suggest involvement in interdisciplinary teams focusing on global development and climate resilience.
