The huge consumption, waste and environment pollution spawned by the economic growth of China requires the nation to adopt the Scientific Outlook of Development and seek for sustainable development. In recent years, some competent departments of the central government has sampled the energy use of government organs. According to the survey, the huge consumption, high administrative cost and low efficiency has hampered the development of social and economic development and tainted the image of the government. Adopting low-carbon administration is a basic requirement for the government to pursue "people-first" administration and also a necessity to build a harmonious society.This thesis, from the perspective of the theories of low-carbon economy and sustainable development, defines the concept of low-carbon management. In a broader sense, low-carbon management refers to all the managerial activities of the government intended to promote energy-saving, emission-cutting and low-carbon economy. In a narrower sense, it means that the government organs guided by the ideas of sustainable development and low-carbon economy apply a series of managerial methods and low-carbon technologies to cut energy consumption in daily administrative activities, thus the reduction of carbon emission, especially the emission of carbon dioxide. The research of this thesis focuses on the low-carbon emission in a narrow sense.The central government and local governments have achieved remarkable results in promoting energy-saving and low-carbon management, by stepping up administration, education and institutional establishment. However, there are many problems in terms of low-carbon management in governments of all levels, because of the patchy policies, weak awareness, and limited application of low-carbon products and technologies and absent institutions. High-cost and high-carbon emission in offices of government organs are two pronounced problems.Therefore, government organs in China have to adopt the strategy of prioritizing energy-saving, promoting low-carbon administration and stepping up energy-saving management. Meanwhile, they should promote low-carbon management in accordance with the reality. They should better the relevant policies to institutionally support the low-carbon management of the governments. They should promote low-carbon management more aggressively. They should optimize the human resources and improve the efficiency. They should cut energy-emission, reform the system of using and buying vehicles on tax-payers’ money and adopt energy-saving policies in construction. They should step up the establishment of the system of low-carbon management to create long-term mechanism and institutionally support the policy.
