As the two largest countries by population, China and India have pervasive effects on the ecosphere. Because of their human population size and long international boundary, they share biodiversity and the threats to it, as well as crops, pests and diseases. We ranked the two countries on a variety of environmental challenges and solutions, illustrating quantitatively their environmental footprint and the parallels between them regarding the threats to their human populations and biodiversity. Yet we show that China and India continue to have few co-authorships in environmental publications, even as their major funding for scientific research has expanded. An agenda for collaboration between China and India can start with the shared Himalaya, linking the countries' scientists and institutions. A broader agenda can then be framed around environmental challenges that have regional patterns. Coordinated and collaborative research has the potential to improve the two countries' environmental performance, with implications for global sustainability.
作为人口最多的两个国家，中国和印度对生态圈有着广泛的影响。由于人口规模庞大且国际边界漫长，两国共享生物多样性及其面临的威胁，还有作物、害虫和疾病。我们对两国的各种环境挑战和解决方案进行了排名，定量说明了它们的环境足迹，以及两国在人口和生物多样性面临的威胁方面的相似之处。然而，我们发现，尽管两国的科研经费大幅增加，但在环境出版物方面的合作仍然很少。中国和印度之间的合作议程可以从喜马拉雅山脉开始，将两国的科学家和机构联系起来。然后，可以围绕具有区域模式的环境挑战制定更广泛的议程。协调和合作研究有可能改善两国的环境绩效，对全球可持续性产生影响。
