China Analyst (Remote)

China is responsible for most of the growth in global CO2 emissions since 2000, and for most of the growth in installed capacity of wind and solar power. The country faces a severe air pollution problem, but has achieved some of the most rapid improvements in air quality on record. Chinese banks are the largest financiers of coal-fired power plants overseas, while the country's solar manufacturers produce most of the panels installed around the world. In short, for both air pollution and climate change, what happens in China doesn't stay in China, but is a make-or-break for global efforts.

At CREA, we aim to hold a mirror to these efforts and help both Chinese and international actors track progress and identify problems and solutions.

We are recruiting a China analyst to monitor developments in China's energy transition, particularly related to the power sector. You will keep track of new developments, policies and public debate using official government publications, online sources, social media and professional networks. Assess the dynamics of China's power sector, both on the policy and economic levels. Write reports, briefings and articles and give presentations in both Chinese and English to inform decision-makers and the public about the latest trends in clean energy developments.

You will work with a team of analysts and data scientists who provide you with cutting-edge analysis of energy, air quality, satellite and financial data, and who you will help locate, obtain, and analyse data from Chinese sources.
