There is a long and difficult way ahead of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement. Human society needs to move fast and far on the road. Sustainable development can hardly be achieved by ostensible “reforms” and “transitions”. The only possible way is to upgrade and transform the industrial civilization to ecological civilization, in which man and nature, and man and society are in harmony, in an all-round and in-depth way. To preserve nature and improve the eco-environment is in essence to protect and boost productivity. The value of nature and ecological assets must be reflected in the System of National Accounts in a scientific and objective way. The lifestyle in developed countries and production mode in the developing world must be transformed. So far a global agenda for sustainable development has been in position, and China has obtained remarkable achievements in the construction of ecological civilization and low-carbon transformation. To realize the targets set in the Paris Agreement, institutional innovation and international cooperation prove essential.

In order to comparatively study the effect of warm mix modifiers on the road performance of guss asphalt, the guss asphalt mixtures, whose asphalt aggregate ratio were 8.5%,9.0%,9.5% respectively, were mixed with 0%,1%,2%,3% of the RH and Sasobit warm mix modifiers. Then by means of Lueer test, penetration test, wheel track test and low-temperature bending test, the performance of guss asphalt were evaluated. The test results show that: RH and Sasobit can effectively improve the workability of guss asphalt; RH is better than Sasobit in reducing viscosity of guss asphalt; RH reduces the high-temperature properties of guss asphalt; On the contrary, Sasobit can improve the hightemperature performance of guss asphalt; RH and Sasobit have an adverse impact on the crack resistance of guss asphalt in low temperature, so their content should not too high. Guss asphalt has characteristics of high construction temperature and energy consumption. In order to reduce construction temperature, based on energy conservation, low-carbon emission environment, reduce the aging of asphalt principle, warm modifiers could be used to reduce the viscosity of guss asphalt at high temperatures[1-5]. Sasobit modifiers imported from Germany are used much more to improve the workability of guss asphalt. In this paper, 0%, 1%, 2%, 3% RH and Sasobit warm mix modifier were mixed with the aggregate ratio of 8.5%, 9.0%, and 9.5% of the Guss asphalt to compare and analyzed the performance of those two warm modifiers on Guss asphalt.
