In recent years, severe climate disasters around the world have become increasingly frequent, so climate change has become the foucus of international society and sustainable development has become the hot topic again. To copy with climate change, all countries have reached consensus on the development of low carbon economy. Developing low carbon economy is the necessary choice for Chia to be a big responsible country and realize peaceful rise and sustainable development. On the basis of the connotation and characteristics of low carbon economy, the paper focuses on the challenges and strategies of low-carbon economy development.

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.

Global warming is the top ten environmental problem of the world, and the greenhouse effect caused by a large number of CO2 emissions from human society is the root of climate change. 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. In many policies to promote low carbon economic development, various related carbon tax policies and regulations are still the most dependent means of every country. The carbon tax levied by part of OECD countries is worthy of our reference.

Global warming is one of the problems paid close attention extensively in the world today. Meanwhile, the development of the world economy demands more and more oil, coal and other energy, which results in an unceasing increase of greenhouse gas emissions and intensifies the climate change. The development of the low-carbon economy has become an important means to address climate change issues to a country, and the carbon tax is an important approach to achieve the development of the low-carbon economy. This paper is based on the perspective of the low-carbon economy, starting from the role of the tax on the economy to study the role of the tax on the low-carbon economy, and ultimately to design the implementation of the tax .

Global climate change and resources and environmental problems have great impacts on the sustainable development of human beings. The development of low-carbon economy has become an important way for countries to cope with climate change and change the way of economic and social development. Under the background of low-carbon economy, low-carbon tourism has become the response of tourism industry to low-carbon economy. The low-carbon development of eco-tourism areas is the inevitable choice of the tourism industry to achieve sustainable development. Taking Qinghai Lake, the world-famous eco-tourism destination of plateau lakes as an example, this paper discusses the significance of the low-carbon development of eco-tourism areas. It analyzes the main problems of low-carbon development in the Qinghai Lake eco-tourism area from the aspects of tourism development and construction, operation and management and tourists’ behaviors respectively. The author holds that scientifically planning and constructing tourism areas, operating and managing them in an environmentally friendly way, strengthening the environmental education and management of tourists, as well as competing for policy support from the government are the main countermeasures for low-carbon development in the eco-tourism areas.

Low-carbon economy is a new path which our country is taking to develop economy. As one of the provinces in the southeast coast of China, Fujian develop a low-carbon economy directly relating to the transformation of its economic growth, conservation of energy, improvement of productivity, innovation of technology and so on. We can say that the development of low-carbon economy directly affects the sustainable development of economy and society in Fujian province of China. Therefore, firstly, we believe that government and enterprise should optimize the allocation of resource and improve the utilization of resource. Secondly, the tax policies are supposed to adjust to stimulate the development of environmental protection industry. Thirdly, government should accelerate the construction of infrastructures. Fourthly, the legal system needs to be built and perfected so as to promote the development of low-carbon economy. At last, the investment of techniques is supposed to increase to a certain degree, and the ability of innovation and management of enterprises should be promoted to adapt the development of low-carbon economy of Fujian province.

In response to global climate change, Canada is transitioning towards a low-carbon economy and the need for policy approaches that are effective, equitable, coordinated, and both administratively and politically feasible is high. One point is clear; the transition is intimately tied to the vast supply of ecosystem services in the boreal zone of Canada. This paper describes four contrasting futures for the boreal zone using scenario analysis, which is a transdisciplinary, participatory approach that considers alternative futures and policy implications under conditions of high uncertainty and complexity. The two critical forces shaping the four scenarios are the global economy’s energy and society’s capacity to adapt. The six drivers of change are atmospheric change, the demand for provisioning ecosystem services, the demand for nonprovisioning ecosystem services, demographics, and social values, governance and geopolitics, and industrial innovation and infrastructure. The four scenarios include: (i) the Green Path, where a low-carbon economy is coupled with high adaptive capacity; (ii) the Uphill Climb, where a low-carbon economy is instead coupled with low adaptive capacity; (iii) the Carpool Lane, where society has a strong capacity to adapt but a reliance on fossil fuels; and (iv) the Slippery Slope, where there is both a high-carbon economy and a society with low adaptive capacity. The scenarios illustrate the importance of transitioning to a low-carbon economy and the role of society’s adaptive capacity in doing so. However, they also emphasize themes like social inequality and adverse environmental outcomes arising from the push towards climate change mitigation.

<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 relevance of the research topic is justified by the currently emerging trend of transition to a low-carbon economy all over the world. The purpose of the article is to consider the theoretical aspects of this process, as well as the barriers that stand in the way of the Russian Federation in the implementation of the principles of low-carbon development. The analysis of international agreements in this area and Russian documents on their ratification is carried out. The author has proven that Russian enterprises must take action by introducing innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions and raising product quality standards in order to provide priority opportunities for future economic development.
