Since1978, under the reform and opening up policy, China has gained a renowned accomplishment in terms of the economy development. The gross domestic product has increased dramatically, and the living standard of people has improved steadily. However, as much of China’s development depends upon the industry with huge comsumption of energy and natural resources, the development pattern is not sustainable. Such being the case, China’s rapid economic growth has raised many concerns about the ecology security and energy security.Meanwhile, after the experience of a worldwide econmy crisis in2008, the whole world is seeking a sustainable development in order to come over the depression. Under such circumstance, the UNEP has proposed a Great Green New Deal project, which is regarded as a new revolutionary since the industrial revolutionary and information technology revolutionary. Such being the case, some developed countries, such as US and EU, have all proposed their only Green Economy Development Policy, aiming to master the core techniques in green industry and take the lead in the global economy and social stage.Recent years, with the ever deepening urbanrisation, industrialization and modernization, the development of China’s economy and social wealfares demands more energy and natural resources, which has casued a huge damage on the whole eco system and environment. And the emission of Carbon-Oxide from China has increased and become the world’s biggest emmissioner. This has attracted the attention from China’s government. The government took many efforts to coordinate the relation between the economy and environment. In the metal aspect, the government has set up a Scientific Development View, which emphasize the development should be based upon people, adress the importance of the coordination with development of people and nature, and the coordination of economy demolition and the use of resources. In the policy aspect, in the twelfth5year plan of the economy and social development, it is firmly stated thaf" the construction of resourse saving and environment friendly society is an important focal point to accelerate the transformation of economic development. And thoroughly implement the basic national policy of resources and environmental protection, conserve the energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity, develop circular economy, promote low-carbon technologies, and actively respond to global climate change, promote the coordination of economic and social development and population, resources and the environment, and take the road of sustainable development." China’s development of a green economy is imperative.In view of the concept of green economy is relatively new, the meaning and the core theories of the green economy at home and abroad is still in its infancy, this paper seeks breakthrough in green economic. Through literature review and a lot of research, this dissertation systematicly analyzed the development process and some core theories of the green economy. The green economy can not develop without the development of green industries.In the light of the total carbon emissions of traditional industries, this work finds that green energy, green building, green transportationand green industry are four main industry in green economic development. From a microscopic point of view, this paper comprehensive expose the meaning of the four supporting industries in the green economy, and the need for the development of support industries in the four.area respectively.The development of China’s green economy is the core issue of this study, this article uses a combination of theoretical analysis and empirical research to analyze the stage of China’s green economy development, the impact factor of China’s green economic development, and identifies the main tasks of green economic development in China.The main content of this paper has seven chapters, specific sections of the main contents are as follows:The first chapter, Introduction, introduces the research background and significance of the green economic development in China. A literature review and research used for methodoligy of research in green economic development is carried out.The second chapter is the theoretical preparation before the main research. The article first introduces the relationship between the connotation of green economic development, the relationship between green economy and circular economy, low carbon economy. Then, a more detailed description of the two theoretical basis of the theory of green economic development is given-the Kuznets curve and the decoupling theory. Finally, the article listed four supporting industry of green economic and analyzes its importance in green economic development analysis.The third chapter briefly describes the background of green economic development in China. This article has a deep review on the "Green New Deal". And through the critical analysis of green economic development policies in some OECD countries, this chapter identifies the key tasks of the global green economic development:to reduce the carbon dependency of the economy and to develop the green economy. A brief summary of the major international conferences and international treaties is given, and this chapter calls for the international community advocacy to support for green economic development and the Green New Deal innovation.Chapter IV The analysis focused on the development status of China’s green economy, mainly divided into two parts. First, based on decoupling theory, a brief analysis of the relationship between China’s economic development and use of resources, energy, and environment is given; a preliminary evaluation of the stage of economic development in China has conducted. The study found that since2000, China’s GDP and water consumption, energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions show relative decoupling relationship, which indicates that green economic development in China has progress.Secondly, this chapter invites IPAT model to analyze the relationship between socio-economic development and carbon emissions, and the relationship between socio-economic development and total energy consumption respectively. The characteristics and impact factor are given. By using the deformation modes of the IPAT model, this paper briefly analyze the influencing factors of energy consumption in China between1990and2010.The study found that between1990and2010, China’s economic development and energy consumption does not yet exist environmental Kuznets curve, indicating that China’s current green economic development is still an arduous task.The fifth chapter is the core part of the full text, based on the above theoretical studies, this chapter confirmed the major green industry in "12th Five-Year" period, and built up China’s "Twelfth Five Year " green economy development evaluation system. Through the analytic hierarchy process and the Delphi method, this article further analyzed the status of China’s green economy development with regard to the2015target. The study found that among the four core green industries, the green industry got the highest score and green energy the lowest. The study found in the "12th Five-Year" period, the important task of China’s green economic development is the installation of biomass power generation, the construction of urban tourist transit rail, the development of new materials industry, the ETC average coverage, and the expansion of solar photovoltaic capacity. It is noted that although by the end of2010, China’s applications of new pattern of wall materials has reached the "Twelfth Five Year" standard, the promotion of new materials should still not be ignored as the value is the proportion.Chapter VI is written on the basis of the previous section, which further analysize China’s development path of green energy, green transportation, green building and green industry in the12th Five-Year plan period.Chapter VII is given on the basis of summing up the contents of the above sections, and further elaborated China’s challenges of green economic development, and proposes the long-term development strategy of China’s green economy.
