A Æ»¹ûÒùÔº-led study of replacement of traditional wood and coal burning stoves with clean energy in China suggests that, without a better understanding of the reasons behind people’s reluctance to give up traditional stoves, it will be difficult for policies in China and elsewhere in the world to succeed in encouraging this shift towards clean energy.

This may prove challenging in a country with a population of almost 1.4 billion, but with just under 13% of arable land, close to half of which is suffering from soil degradation. After analyzing the potential impacts of various current trade-related food policies, the researchers have arrived at the conclusion that the current Red Line arable land protection policy is insufficient to reach the government’s desired goal.</p> Thu, 07 Jun 2018 15:28:53 +0000 webfull 138416 at /channels /channels/channels/news/neuro-signs-agreement-chinese-and-cuban-institutes-286759 <h2>Partners agree to share resources, establish steering committee for closer collaboration</h2> <p>On April 20, 2018, Canadian, Chinese and Cuban neuroscience institutes strengthened an existing partnership with the signing of a memorandum of understanding in Chengdu, China.</p> <p>Partners in the agreement include The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) of Æ»¹ûÒùÔº, The Cuban Neuroscience Center, The University of Electronic Sciences and Technology of China, The West China Hospital, and The Tianfu New Area of Chengdu (TFNA).</p> Mon, 23 Apr 2018 15:59:40 +0000 webfull 137529 at /channels /channels/channels/news/hydro-quebec-sponsor-teammtls-entry-solar-decathlon-china-269920 <p> Wed, 30 Aug 2017 15:53:07 +0000 webfull 130653 at /channels /channels/news/east-meets-west-desautels-237647 <p><span>This month, 25 business students from China’s Shantou University are getting a taste of life at Æ»¹ûÒùÔº and Montreal through the </span><strong>Desautels Faculty of Management’s International Summer Program</strong><span>.</span></p> Thu, 24 Jul 2014 17:35:22 +0000 webfull 103703 at /channels /channels/news/mcgill-expert-china-earthquake-237807 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 14:18:59 +0000 webfull 103806 at /channels /channels/news/mcgill-expert-eu-military-contracts-china-235837 Fri, 02 May 2014 14:41:08 +0000 webfull 102704 at /channels
