低碳经济:中国实现绿色发展的根本途径

Low Carbon Economy:A Basic Path to Gree Development

应对全球气候变化,保障能源安全是世界各国共同面对的挑战。中国作为一个新兴的发展中大国,不仅人口众多,经济发展、消除贫困、保障民生的任务极为繁重,人均GDP需要保持持续增长,而且能源消费以煤炭为主,CO2排放量居世界第二,同时煤炭资源禀赋较差,其温室气体排放的强度和控制的难度比较大,再加上我国能源技术相对较为落后,实施技术改造和产业转型升级的难度也比较大,我国减排的压力不容小视。中国要从根本上降低CO2排放量,实现节能减排,促进绿色发展,必须找出实现节能减排,促进绿色发展的关键环节,其途径在于大力发展低碳经济,发展包括低碳经济在内的循环经济和节能经济、清洁生产、生态经济以及绿色消费,促进绿色发展。针对低碳经济的理论基础、发展的国际背景,以及我国发展低碳经济的优势、机遇和挑战等问题,本文进行了深入分析,并提出了我国发展低碳经济的具体措施建议。

China is in repid development. At same time, China has large population, and has to reduce prverty, improve people＇ s livelihood and keep GDP increasing. China＇s energy consarnption relies on coal. CO2 emissions rank the second in the world. Resources endowment of coal is not favorabfe. So the emission strength of green house gas is large and it is difficult to control emissions. Besides, China has bachward resource technology, and has difficulties in technology innovation and industrial transformation and updating. The basic paths lie in developing low carbon economy, inclading, circalar economy, energy sating economy, clean development, ecological economy and green consumption. In the end, the article puts forword suggestions on developing low carbon economy.
