This engagement must go beyond the deliberation

and policy discourse led by the governments. As socially conscious academic institutions, the two Universities want to produce tangible research outcomes that can influence government policy.

The MOUs were inked this week between O.P. Jindal Global University Vice Chancellor, Prof. (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar and Prof. CAO Heping, Dean School of Economics, Department of Environment, Resources and Development Economics, Peking University on behalf of the institutions.

"India and China together constitute a bulk of humanity with 40% of the global population. As two of the world's fastest-growing economies, these nations are also drivers of the global economy. The two nations also face enormous environmental challenges that have the potential to make growth unsustainable. From declining soil fertility to unbreathable air and contaminated water, the problems faced by the two countries are quite similar. Our collaboration will foster indigenous research on environmental issues, and through facts and outcomes would try to influence policy making," says O.P. Jindal Global University Vice Chancellor, Prof. (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar.

The joint initiative will involve cross-learning exchange programs for students with extensive and diversified joint research within China and India, focusing on key environmental challenges faced by these communities. Students from India will travel to different Chinese provinces, while students from China will travel to different Indian states to study first-hand the environmental degradation and related challenges faced by the local communities.
