China's Low Carbon Transformation

摘要

Along with industrialization and urbanization processes,China's emission of greenhouse gases has been increasing rapidly and substantially over the past 40 years,as measured in aggregate and in per capita terms.While there are reasons to drive up the emissions,the Chinese government has made efforts to lower the rate of increase in emissions,as emission reduction is consistent with China's pursuit for energy security and sustainable development.Ambitious targets and aggressive actions have been made in China to accelerate the process of low carbon transformation.However,challenges remain and additional policies will be required to accomplish the process of low carbon transformation.
