发达国家低碳经济发展经验与启示

DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-CARBON ECONOMY IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES:EXPERIENCES AND LESSONS

低碳经济是以低能耗、低污染、低排放为基础的经济模式,是人类社会继农业文明、工业文明之后的又一次重大进步。当今一些发达国家都把发展低碳经济作为抢占产业制高点、维护其国际地位的重要战略,并取得了显著的社会经济效益。以英国、美国、日本等发达国家为例,论述了低碳经济的兴起和发展以及经验与启示:包括通过政府宏观调控、大力研发低碳技术、加强能源立法、推行示范试点、参加国际合作等措施促进低碳发展;并立足于我国的具体国情,提出了发展低碳经济的对策建议:完善相关法律和政策、确保此项技术的研发资金、加强宣传、大力发展低碳产业、建立低碳经济示范基地、积极参加国际合作等方面的措施,为我国发展低碳经济提供良好环境。
