The low-carbon economy, as a major trend of global economic development, has been a widespread concern, which is a rare opportunity to realize the transformation of the economic way in China. The realization of a low-carbon economy requires improved resource utilization efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. The reasonable location of logistics nodes is of great significance in the optimization of a logistics network. This study formulates a double objective function optimization model of reverse logistics facility location considering the balance between the functional objectives of the carbon emissions and the benefits. A hybrid multi-objective optimization algorithm that combines a gravitation algorithm and a particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to solve this reverse logistics facility location model. The mobile phone recycling logistics network in Jilin Province is applied as the case study to verify the feasibility of the proposed reverse logistics facility location model and solution method. Analysis and discussion are conducted to monitor the robustness of the results. The results prove that this approach provides an effective tool to solve the multi-objective optimization problem of reverse logistics location.

In low carbon economy, carbon emissions permit has become a kind of resource; in the market economy system, new economic relations between enterprises have appeared, these characteristics make enterprise operation cost structure and profiting pattern changed. The paper reviews the previous literature on carbon footprint, production optimization theory individual enterprise and supply chain operation management with carbon emissions constraints. Then the paper put forward four worth further research directions: Carbon emission cost distribution and scientific measurement in supply chain; supply chain operation based on consumer behavior in Low Carbon Economy Era; optimizing the allocation of carbon emissions permit in supply chain; Dynamic Multi-period operation optimization of carbon efficient supply chain.

Currently, the global warming becomes serious and has become the crisis and challenge of all the world. Low carbon economy is the best mode of coping with the global warming and realizing sustainable development of economy and society. At present, The United States is still in the first place of greenhouse gas are worth of using for reference in developed countries. At present, the United States is still the biggest country that exhausts greenhouse gases, such as CO2;however, carbon emissions in China can not be ignored. Recent research indicates that it is valuable to learn from developed countries carbon or energy taxes policy.

Based on rural as research object, this paper mainly combines the local rural development present situation to measure rural carbon emissions, and with the help of Kaya model respectively. The rural residents' energy consumption and carbon emissions are generated by the impact factors of agricultural production LMDI decomposition. And it established the cointegration model of influence factors of the carbon in the empirical analysis. It seek a accord with the actual situation of rural low carbon economy development path.

Low-carbon economy has become a hot research field in all walks of life currently. As a way to achieve low-carbon economy, industrial restructuring has been widely studied. In order to promote research in the field, and lead to the development of China's low-carbon economy, this article will give us a summary and a brief review of representative research achievements referring to industrial structure low-carbon adjustment in China's academia. They contain four aspects: intensions of industrial restructuring from the perspective of low-carbon economy, influence of industrial restructuring on carbon emissions, low-carbon industries, and strategies of industrial restructuring from the low-carbon economy aspect.

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 analyzed the background of developing low economy in China, included restricts and advantages. China is the world’s largest carbon emitter and its emissions continue to rise with rapid growth. The most important is that coal will continue to dominate China's energy mix for decades to come. The measures to reduce carbon emissions mainly include laws and regulations, carbon taxes or carbon trading, subsidies or tax cuts on clean production, technological innovation. Low carbon economy is an important growth point sustainable development.
