The World

The rapid development of China’ s economy and society is obtained at the cost of the consumption of energy, especially fossil energy. And the coal-based energy consumption structure enables China to become the largest carbon dioxide emitter in the world. With the enhancement of global greenhouse effect, ecological environment deterioration is becoming increasingly serious. Carbon emission reduction has become one of the most important international issues. As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, China has also actively responded to energy conservation and emission reduction.As a major energy province in China, Shaanxi province plays a critical role in the national energy supply, and it was also listed as the first batch of low-carbon pilot areas in 2010. In recent years, relying on its own energy advantages, Shaanxi has witnessed rapid economic growth, but the resource stock and environmental carrying capacity cannot withstand the high intensity of resource consumption and environmental pollution under the traditional resource mode. As the first batch of “low-carbon development” pilot provinces, adjusting the industrial structure, changing the mode of economic development and realizing “low-carbon economy” have become the urgent problems to be solved in Shaanxi Province.

Carbon Economy

<span lang="EN-US">Aiming at six big emerging economies in the world, namely, China, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Japan, this paper analyzes their carbon emission conditions based on the data of carbon emission, energy consumption and economic development during 1970—2008 from the statistics in the World Development Index Database (WDI) of the World Bank, and carries out empirical analyses based on theories &amp; policies and driving factors of their low carbon economy. It is found that energy intensity, economic growth and urbanization progress exert more remarkable influences on carbon intensity, and the effect of carbon emission reduction depending on government fiancé is not sustainable. Thus, this paper is intended to explain that China needs more actively promoting green sustainable towns with its sustainable development, and developing urban low carbon industries and buildings for more civilized ecological towns.</span>

The Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) is an essential part of China’s goal of reducing its national carbon emissions. Focusing on economic and social development, the development of science and technology, carbon sinks, energy consumption, and carbon emissions, this paper uses “the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution mode” (TOPSIS) and “an obstacle factor diagnosis method” to measure the reduction capacity of each province and municipality of the YREB. Key obstacles to achieving the goal of carbon emission reduction are also identified. The main finding is that the emission reduction capacities of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in China’s east is far greater than that of all other provinces and municipalities, the main obstacle of Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are carbon sinks, energy consumption and carbon emission, and other provinces and municipalities are social and economic development. Taking into consideration those evaluation results and obstacles, paths for carbon emission reduction are delineated through a four-quadrant matrix method with intent to provide suitable references for the development of a low-carbon economy in the YREB.

Carbon Economy

Impacts of climate change are emerging around the world. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. It is a threat to social progress and economic development. China is no exception. A top priority issues facing the world economy will be slow the rate of climate change, and turned to more energy-efficient, low-carbon economy. As such, China must give enough attention to climate change in developing growth strategies. Doing so will China's industrial structure and into the old city mode. These will be significant adverse conditions in low-carbon world. If the Chinese want to turn to a low-carbon economy, it is necessary to announce new routes, and a series of new policy objectives and measures to guarantee. To achieve this transformation, the density of the target energy consumption only is not enough. China also needs to create incentives. Encourage the use of low-carbon energy and low-carbon industries in economic development activities, and the introduction of market-based policy.

Abstract Energy saving and emission reduction have been not only a slogan but also a policy in this modern society where the phenomenon of greenhouse is exacerbated. In this study, calculation method of carbon emission and integrated parallel acquisition technique (IPAT) scenario prediction model were combined to predict the changes of total carbon emissions, energy structure distribution, and carbon emission intensity under three measures of energy saving and emission reduction in the next ten years in Shandong, China. The results showed that the total carbon emission increased year by year, and the coal ratio and carbon emission intensity decreased under the natural scenario; the total carbon emission in the weakly constrained scenario would increase annually until 2029, the amplitude was smaller than that of the natural scenario, while the coal ratio and carbon emission intensity would decrease, and the amplitude was larger than that of the natural scenario. Under the strongly constrained scenario, the total carbon emission would increase annually before 2025, and the amplitude was smaller than the weakly constrained scenario, while the coal ratio and carbon emission intensity would decrease, and the amplitude was larger than the weakly constrained scenario.

Abstract The development of a low-carbon economy is an inevitable choice for the world to coordinate industrial economic growth and environmental issues actively. At the same time, science and technology are the cornerstones for the development of a low-carbon economy. The equipment manufacturing industry (EMI) in China is known as the base of the low-carbon sector. Still, the research of coordinating industry carbon emission and economic growth from the perspective of science and technology is insufficient. For this reason, this work comprehensively analyzed the economic development and carbon emission of China’s EMI. The DEA (data envelopment analysis) Malmquist method was used to measure the transformation efficiency of scientific and technological achievements of the EMI from 2009 to 2017. The results can show that: (1) the economic benefits of China’s EMI were increasing year by year, but the growth rate is declining. With the optimization of industrial structure, the energy consumption and carbon emission of the industry have improved, but there is still a large gap between different sectors; (2) the achievement transformation of EMI decreases by year due to the influence of technological progress efficiency; and (3) in terms of sector data efficiency in 2017, there is redundancy in the investment of general EMI (B2) and special EMI (B3). This work can provide a reference for the development of countries dominated by industry and to jointly realize the sustainable development of the world economy.

Carbon Economy

Low-carbon economy is the only way for China’s economic development, and also an important part of achieving the commitment to the world about reducing 40-45% carbon-emission until the year of 2020. In recent years, the increasing speed of hotels in China has become higher and higher, but most hotels have the problems of serious waste and pollution. This doesn’t benefit for development of low-carbon economy in China. So building low-carbon hotels is imminent at present. From the perspective of circular economy, this paper analyzes the ubiquitous problems in the process of building low-carbon hotels, and then summarizes successful experience of building low-carbon hotels in foreign countries. Finally, the paper put forwards to corresponding countermeasures of building low-carbon hotels from four aspects including policy, technology, culture and behavior.

The Impact

As the development of a green and low-carbon economy has received great attention from governments around the world, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have become important issues raised by China. As a major energy consuming country, government has actively formulated and implemented various carbon emission reduction policies in order to curb carbon emissions. Whether these policies achieve economic growth in the process of energy conservation and emission reduction, and promote China’s green and low-carbon development transition is the focus of this paper. This paper selects data from 30 provinces in China from 2010 to 2019, establishes a model, and empirically analysis the impact of carbon emission reduction policy tools on economic growth. The results show that there is a significant negative correlation between mandatory carbon emission reduction policies and economic growth, while market-based carbon emission reduction policies enhance the economic strength of the region. In addition, this paper empirically tests that after the establishment of the carbon market in 2013, market-based carbon emission reduction policies have significantly promoted economic growth, and the impact of carbon emission reduction policies on economic growth have regional heterogeneity.
