低碳经济:生态经济建设的路径选择

Low-Carbon Economy: the Choices of Eco-Economic Development

改革开放以来,我国GDP每10年翻一番。然而,从总体上说,如此辉煌成就的取得依赖于化石能源的大量消耗,单位GDP能耗和主要能耗均高于主要能源消费国家的平均水平,使我国成为世界第二大CO2排放国,呈现出高耗能、高污染、高排放的经济特征。为此,我国必须发展低碳经济,搞好生态经济建设,加快转变经济发展方式:一是要提高化石能源特别是煤炭能源的利用效率,努力降低CO2排放量;二是要进一步开发清洁能源,以实现能源结构调整;三是要发挥财政和金融在发展低碳经济中的作用;四是要树立低碳经济意识,努力实现人们能源消费方式和生活消费方式的根本转变。

Since the reform and opening up, China＇s GDP doubled every 10 years. However, this great achievement is achieved at the cost of a great consumption of fossil energy. The consumption of GDP per capita and the major consumption of energy are above the average level of major energy consumption countries, which makes us the second largest country of COg emission and the economy with high energy consumption, heavy pollution and high emission. Therefore, our country has to choose to develop low-carbon economy, eco-economy and improve the mode of economic development： firstly, to improve the efficiency of the use of fossil energy especially the use of coal to reduce C02 emission; secondly, to further develop clean energy to realize the restructuring of energy structure; thirdly, to make full use of the function of finance in low-carbon economy; fourthly, to establish people＇s awareness of reducing carbon emission to finally change the way people use and consume energy in their lives.
