A joint results conference of nine projects from the Transformative Change Cluster will bring together around 150 participants from science and policy on 4–5 June 2026 at Comet Louise, Brussels.

Based on panel data from 2004 to 2023 covering 30 provinces in China, this study establishes a three-dimensional (economic, technological, institutional) indicator system to evaluate the carbon unlocking level of transportation infrastructure. The entropy weight method and natural breaks method are applied to classify regional and provincial levels, revealing a clear gradient gap and provincial differentiation, which supports low-carbon transition in the transport sector.

Presented at the Population Association of Singapore (PAS) 2026 Annual Conference, new Singapore studies explore how modern family life, from infant childcare and paternity leave to children’s growing use of AI, is reshaping parenting and child development. The findings will also inform a joint NUS Medicine–PAS white paper on fertility and human development.
