Tracking Progress is the first national index of Australia’s progress towards a low carbon economy. With increasing business and community focus on how best to transition to a low carbon future, it is critical to have a robust measurement and evaluation framework for low carbon activity. ClimateWorks Australia has undertaken a detailed analysis of activity occurring across the Australian economy that reduces or avoids greenhouse gas emissions, pulling together the available information and data across key sectors: power, industry, buildings and land-use, and waste. In addition ClimateWorks has produced a special report on factors influencing large industrial energy efficiency.

The article in had the selection based on industrial energy consumption, industrial energy intensity, industrial carbon dioxide emissions, industrial carbon dioxide Emissions intensity and industrial carbon productivity index analysis such as China's industrial economic development three stages of evolution characteristics of low carbon, and according to the 1985 ~ 2007 China work Industry economic data through the regression analysis forecast industry a low carbon economy future development tendency. The analysis results show that, from 1985 to 2007 years although energy consumption Quantity and industrial carbon emissions overall a growing trend, but the industrial strength of energy consumption declined, industrial carbon production ability enhancement, industrial energy intensity reducing to reduce co2 emissions larger contribution, based on this proposed to promote the development of China's industrial low carbon specific Suggestions.

Developing the eco-tourism in low carbon economy has becoming an appeal for all sectors of the society. To develop a low carbon economy, as well as construct low carbon cities, is a convenient and scientific way to starting from the construction of low carbon scenic spot, this concept should put deep into the exploitation and construction of scenic spot. As direct participants of tourism activities, tourists have no doubt play a key role in the construction of low carbon scenic spot and achieving the goals of low carbon in scenic area. At present, low carbon tourism is in fact more to reflect a kind of energy conservation and emission reduction in concept, for which it is a response to ecological tourism and sustainable tourism. There has no specific and quantifiable index to qualify as the measurement and evaluation standard of low carbon scenic spot. It is thus clear that to construct low carbon scenic area that we should put forth effort to strengthening tourists’ low carbon tourism consciousness.

In this paper, we utilize Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) techniques to decompose different components —CO2 emission factor, industrial energy mix, industrial energy intensity, industrial-scale structure, industrial structure, economic activity, family size and family households—which contribute to the changes in CO2 emissions in Dalian industry sector based on industry economy and CO2 emissions data in Dalian from 2000 to 2009. The results show that the economic activity was the main component for CO2 emissions increase, and energy intensity was the most favorable component in developing low-carbon economy in Dalian industry sector, and optimize energy mix could contribute to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.
