Development Paths Of Low-Carbon Economics In China Under Background Of Climate Change

As a great improvement of human society after agricultural civilization and industrial civilization, low-carbon economics can be defined as an economic mode based on low-energy-consumption, low-pollution and low-emission. The key issue that the low-carbon economics focus is to use the energy with high efficiency, explore clean energy and pursue green GDP.

Based on research results of many experts, the background from which low-carbon economics are proposed is analyzed at first. Data analysis regarding the energy production and consumption in China, including data regarding raw coal and crude oil, are introduced. From perspective of province level, resource curse effects resulted in over-independence on unclean energy are discussed. Combined with the advanced experience in other countries relating to the low-carbon economics development, national conditions are taken into consideration for proposing the development paths for China. After explanation for necessity of developing low-carbon economics and barriers of that, advices are introduced, including renovating traditional high-carbon industry, developing low-carbon technology; exploring clean energy and renewable energy; applying market mechanisms and economic leverage; enhancing global cooperation for reducing carbon discharge.
