Abstract
Airborne starts from the assumption that people’s experiences and imaginaries of the impact of air pollution are in the process of transforming into entirely new visions of sustainability and creative forms of action in China, the world’s largest energy consuming state. We explore how political authorities, industry, scientists, population and media interact in responding to the inseparable risks of air pollution in China and global climate change.
