The change of global climate is closely linked to all the countries in the world. A low-carbon de-velopment model based on high energy efficiency, low power consumption and low emissions is the best choice for China to address climate change and to achieve a virtuous cycle of economic and environmental development. Under the guidance of a series of policies, some achievements in low-carbon development has been made in China. In this article, a brief introduction is given about the background, concept and necessity of low-carbon develop-ment, and then seven approaches used to achieve the goal of low-carbon development are proposed in detail, in-cluding low-carbon energy, low carbon layout, low-carbon industries, low carbon buildings, low carbon transport, low-carbon agriculture and low-carbon consumption. The positive roles of technological development and institu-tional innovation in low-carbon development are also described with examples.% 全球气候变化问题与世界各国的利益息息相关。高能效、低能耗、低排放为基础的低碳发展模式是我国应对气候变化、实现经济环境良性循环发展的最佳选择。文章在简要介绍我国低碳发展的背景、内涵和必要性的基础上，提出并详细介绍了实现低碳发展的七条途径：低碳能源、低碳布局、低碳产业、低碳建筑、低碳交通、低碳农业、低碳消费方式，并结合实例说明了技术发展与制度创新对低碳发展的积极推动作用。
