| The rapid development of science and technology increases the human capability of knowing and transforming the nature, but at the same time exacerbates the relationship between people and nature. So the contradiction between the ecological environment and natural resources on the one hand and economic and social development on the other is becoming increasingly conspicuous. At present climate change that threatens human survival and development becomes a serious problem. All countries pay intense attention on the climate change. The main character of climate change is the global warming, which causes a variety of natural disasters and threatens the survival of all life. Facing this kind of crisis, the main method of solving this crisis is to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. Low-carbon economy emerges as the time requires. Although the development of low-carbon economy has become the consensus of the world, the issue of how to develop low-carbon economy is still a lack of theoretical guidance. The author’s research thought is that under the guidance of the scientific concept of development, on the basis of developing theories relating to the low-carbon economy, at the reference of the successful international experience, we can use systematic projecting method to build a low-c arbon economy model for our national situation. We can depends on nature, human and society together, by means of developing natural, cultural and social science and technology, optimizing the allocation of resources, environment and life, playing the role of multiple integration, then fulfill the last goal of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases.The essay includes eight parts. The first part is introduction, which mainly recommends the research background and meaning, domestic and overseas research status, methods and contends of the essay. The second part is about the theoretical basis of the low-carbon economy. First this part explains and unscrambles low-carbon economy, then researches the theoretical basis of the development of low-carbon economy, which mainly includes three production theories, ecological economies theory, resources and environmental theories of value, cyclic economy theory and sustainable development theory. The third part introduces the necessary and containment of developing low-carbon economy in China. Firstly this part introduces the estimation of carbon emissions characteristics in China, then analyses the necessity of the development of low-carbon economy, and finally find out the constraints of the development of low-carbon economy. The fourth part analyses overseas practices and experiences in developing low-carbon economy. This part mainly analyses the practices of the development of low-carbon economy in developed countries like UK, German, Japan, US and Australia, then proposes our country’s development model of low-carbon economy. The fifth part is the main part of the essay, which analyses our country’s development model of overall low-carbon economy. Firstly the author puts forward the development model of "the Situation of the Tripartite Confrontation" for our country, then analyses the design objective, design principles, forming conditions, developing evaluation, principle characters and main superiorities of the model.The sixth part is the support system of building our country’s low-carbon economy model, which first designs the support system composed by theoretical support, policy support, regime support, technical support, public voice support, then analyses the action mechanism between the supporting factors and the low-carbon economy models, finally analyses the interaction of the interior factors in the support system and specifically constructs the support system. The seventh part is about the path choice of our country’s developing low carbon economy patterns. It combines our country’s national conditions, comes up with the path choice of developing the low-carbon economy, and mainly discusses the strategies of driving the low-carbon economy models, perfecting related law safeguard system, enhancing the technological innovations and initiating consciousness that all the people live a low-carbon life. The eighth part is about the conclusion and the problems that need further study. By means of the above researches, there get to four conclusions:the urgency in building system info of low-carbon economy; we can’t just copy other countries’development model of low-carbon economy; we need our country’s special model; the low-carbon economy needs the joint support of theory, policy, regime, technique and public voice and so on. Meanwhile, it points out that the evaluation of the development of the low-carbon economy and the coordination problem among the factors in the support system need further study.The main innovations of the essay:extending the scientific outlook on development into low-carbon economy and the research of development patterns, putting forward low-carbon economy activities and mechanism of action, building "the Situation of Tripartite Confrontation" model for the fulfillment of our low-carbon economy, and forming the necessary supporting system for low-carbon economy --"Bird Model". The essay systematically studies the conception of overall low-carbon economy, design objective, design principles, forming conditions, model construction and self-evaluation. It also studies the essential factors, structures, mechanism of action and design principles of the supporting system. Peripheral research forms a view:low-carbon economy’s system info should be built urgently. Our country should learn from international successful experience of the development model of low-carbon economy, establish a development model that suit our country’s special situation. The establishment of the development model of low-carbon economy needs the supports from theory, policy, institution, technique and public voice. |
