Ethical View

Human society is facing great challenges to address global climate change. How to move the international climate process forward is still a serious problem for politicians. Geoengineering's, so called Plan B to cope with climate change has attracted attentions of the international community with a lot of debate on its impact, risks from an ethical view as well as global governance at the level. In this paper, we focus on some important issues of geoengineering including the definition, characteristics, ethics and global governance, etc. and then put forward some suggestions for China's considerations.

Carbon Economy

In response to global climate change, how to develop low-carbon economy in the longer term has become a hot topic in current research. The realization of low-carbon economy is not simply been technical but policy-making methods need to be conducted in-depth research. A social orientation would only display its deviation after being practiced, but we may not have the chance to bear the cost. So the inevitable choice could be that we simulate and predict the possible consequence and analyze possible scenarios before the orientation being developed. In this paper, a regional low-carbon economic system has been developed based on the innovation of existing research on sustainable development.

Environmental Problems

The foremost limitation of public policy approaches is that the context of the public policy problem is not taken into account. In the case of complex and dynamic environmental problems, such as global climate change, there is a need for a framework for approaching economic policy that takes account of the complexity and changing realities of such problems. The objective of this paper is to present a framework to approach economic policy making in a case of such complex and dynamic environmental problems. The literature on economic and public policy theories, the need for a systematic policy design process and approaches to complexity and dynamics in policy making is framework available to one where the focus is on the best learning process to facilitate economic policy making on complex and dynamic environmental problems. Based on sociological models of experiential learning, a multiple-loop learning framework (MLLF) is presented. This model illustrates the importance of orchestrated science-policy interactions through interactive learning. The opportunities and limitations of this model are discussed with reference to the debate on economic policy for global climate change.
