中国走向强可持续性发展的战略选择

Development Strategy Choices Towards Strong Sustainability of China

本文认为,近二十年来世界上许多国家发展的可持续性问题引起了很大争议,主要原因在于选择了弱可持续性和强可持续性两种不同范式作为测评标准。这两种范式争论的焦点在于判断自然资本与人造资本的替代性问题以及至关重要的自然资本度量问题的方式和标准。领先发展模式和U型发展模式证明,强可持续性是一国应该采用的标准,这两种模式也为中国的可持续发展之路提供了借鉴。文章提出,我国要实现强可持续发展目标,需要发展循环经济,提高生态效率,实行生态补偿机制,大力发展环保产业。

During the past two decades, there have been heated debates on the sustainability of development in many nations of the world. The deep cause is different researchers chose two different paradigms——＂ Strong ＂ and ＂Weak＂ sustainability, as the measure standard. The main differences between the two paradigms lie in the substitution problem between the natural capital and manmade capital and the method to measure the important natural capital. The leading and U-shape development patterns have proved that strong sustainable paradigm is the standard we should learn and adopt. To fulfill such a purpose, China should develop recycling economy, enhance the eco-efficiency,implement the mechanism of eco-compensation and strengthen the environmental industries.
