Since the country put forward the construction of low carbon city, government and citizens begin to make energy saving, environmental protection, and low carbon consciousness into their daily life. Construct the overall evaluation system of urban low-carbon level helps accurate understanding and quantifying citys low-carbon level, thus promotes its construction and development. Based on the analysis of the connotation of low carbon city, this paper selects indicators from six aspects, which are low-carbon economy, low-carbon construction, low-carbon traffic, low-carbon life, low-carbon environment and low-carbon society, to construct the evaluation system of urban low-carbon level, and assess whether the city had done a good job on low carbon development.

After the UN climate conference in Copenhagen and the Cancun conference in Mexico, the world pays more attention to low-carbon development. Low-carbon city is an important path to develop the low-carbon economy. Countries all over the world have take action now: Britain’s climate change action plan; Danish’s low-carbon communities; Japan’s low-carbon society action plan. In the sixth nationwide population census, urban population closes to the rural population. Urban create 70 percent GDP, it is also a major source of carbon emissions. How economic development decouple from carbon emissions in the process of industrialization, it is a major problem encountered in China. In this paper, it describes the process of the low-carbon city evolution and the concept of the low-carbon city firstly, then it analyses the status of low-carbon city construction in our country secondly, finally the paper puts forward countermeasures. The countermeasure will has important meaning to develop low-carbon economy in our country.

This paper considers the pilot policy of low carbon cities as a “natural experiment”. Firstly, the EKC curve is plotted using panel data of Jiangxi Province and eight prefectural-level cities in the province from 2010 to 2018, and it is judged that Jiangxi Province’s economy is still in the rising part of the left side of the curve, and economic development is still occurring at the cost of carbon emission growth. Secondly, fixed-effects model was used to investigate the factors that influence CO2 emissions, and it was discovered that industrial structure and the intensity of environmental management had an impact on carbon emissions. Thirdly, the Difference-in-Differences model is applied to evaluate the effect of low carbon city pilot policies, and it is discovered that the policies have a positive effect on energy conservation and emissions reduction. Finally, based upon the empirical results, suggestions for the future development of a low-carbon economy in Jiangxi Province are made in three areas: low-carbon production, environmental governance and supervision, and policy radiation.
