中西部地区发展低碳经济的政策困境与出路

The Policy Predicament of and Way out for the Midwest Region Low-carbon Economy Development

低碳经济包含三个核心要素,即发展目标、减排和成本。发展低碳经济就是要在这三者之间达成一种平衡,也就是在保证发展目标的前提下,实现低排放和低成本。如果单纯为了经济快速转型和兑现减排承诺,而制定和实施强制减排政策,必然引发各种经济冲突和社会矛盾,从而使低碳经济发展陷入困境。从根本上讲,应该把低碳经济纳入国家整体发展规划进行考量,而不仅仅是作为工业减排的附属品。

Low-carbon economy contains three key elements,namely,the development goal,emission cuts and cost.Low-carbon economy strategy is to reach a balance between these three elements,namely,ensuring the development goal under the precondition of realizing low emissions and low cost.If the objective of accelerating economic transformation and realizing reduction promise is the only consideration,in formulating and implementing the mandatory cuts policy,it will inevitably cause a variety of economic conflicts and social contradictions,thus landing low-carbon economic development in a dilemma.Fundamentally,puting low-carbon economy into the state's overall development plan for consideration is the suitable choice,not just an accessory of industrial emission.
