An Earth-system numerical simulation facility, or EarthLab, was launched in June in Beijing's Huairou Science City. 

It is the first comprehensive virtual Earth laboratory in China, using a high-performance computing platform for the simulation of the Earth's climate system, environmental system, ecological system, and space weather system. 

The lab can be used to reconstruct the Earth's past climate, simulate the present, and predict the future, helping us to, for example, mitigate natural weather disasters. It will also support greenhouse gas accounting and future warming estimates, helping China to achieve its peak carbon and carbon neutrality goals.
