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.

Carbon Economy

With the globalization of the economy, energy constraints for economic development have become increasingly apparent. Low-carbon economy has become a necessity. China is a big country of energy consumption, the development of low carbon economy has a long way to go. Low carbon economy will be the opportunity of sustainable development,but also the core of enterprises and the national competitiveness in future. China needs to develop appropriate measures,such as learning the experience of a low carbon economy from the United Kingdom and other developed countries, introducing foreign advanced technology, strengthening independent R&D, improving efficiency of energy conversion,further implementing energy conservation based on international standards to achieve a low carbon economy.In this paper, we established a cointegration and error correction model of 1978-2009 China's economic growth and a regression model between energy consumption and industrial structure.Based on the two models,we analyzed the relationship between Chinese economy and the energy consumption.

With the development of low-carbon economy, it is necessary to explore the relationship between energy consumption, carbon emissions and the economic growth correctly. In this paper, the VAR model was proposed with analyzing the relationship between the three factories through pulse response graph. Through the empirical investigation, the result shows: increasing energy consumption can promote economic growth, while the increasing consumption will also raise emissions of carbon. However, the emissions of carbon have negative effect on economic growth. Therefore, we must correctly handle the relationship between the three factories. Thus, it offers the best way to develop the economic in this paper is to develop the low carbon economy.

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.

In the new historical arena, to develop urban ecological civilization is of great importance to promote the urban comprehensive competence for now and in the future, and remains as a developmental trend of the urban modern civilization. The paper, aiming at the Yangtze River Delta (“YRD”), a place of strategic importance in China’s economy, first puts forward many challenges that the urban ecological civilization construction is exposed to during the rapid economic growth in the process of industrialization, including severe issues in resources and the environment, the extensive economic growth, and the high-carbon lifestyle; later, based on the analysis of the relation between the low-carbon economy and the ecological civilization construction, it suggests to promote the urban ecological civilization construction in cities of YRD and to realize the sustainable development by actively developing the low-carbon economy featured in low energy consumption, low emission, and low pollution.

Currently, the global economic growth model is based on the input of resources, especially the input of energy. Throughout the energy structures all over the world, mostly coal, oil, natural gas and other high-carbon fossil fuels, and those high-carbon fossil fuels have become the main source of atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Economic growth and energy consumption, there should be causal relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions, the economic growth model can get rid of the fossil energy constraints, whereas carbon dioxide emissions can be disconnected from the economic growth, to cope with these problems facing the development of low-carbon economy in Mongolia. The research makes use of time-series model to test the causal relationship between economic growth and energy consumption, economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions as well as between energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

This article took the lead to study the relationship between new energy consumption, traditional energy consumption and economic growth in China from 1990 to 2012, employed methods of regressive model and Granger causality estimation. Econometric software—Eviews 6.0 was used during the calculation process. The empirical study showed that both new energy consumption and traditional energy consumption could promote economic growth in China. However the influences of new energy consumption and traditional energy consumption on Chinese economic growth have the asymmetry. The effect of new energy consumption on economic growth was lower than that of traditional energy consumption. In the short term, new energy consumption was the Granger causality of economic growth in China. However economic growth was also the Granger causality of new energy consumption in the long term. Therefore, in order to achieve sustainable development and low carbon economy in China, it is imperative to make new energy sources play a more important role in economic growth and replace traditional energy sources gradually.
