What traditional culture does a low carbon economy contain?

Confucian "harmony" culture, harmony between nature and man.

Compiled by China Association for the Promotion of Low-Carbon Economic Development.

With the use of biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy, hydro energy, fossil energy, nuclear energy, etc., human beings have gradually moved from primitive civilization to agricultural civilization and industrial civilization. With the continuous growth of the global population and economic scale, the environmental problems caused by energy use and its causes are constantly recognized, not only the hazards of smog, photochemical smog and acid rain, but also the global climate change caused by the increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has also been recognized as an indisputable fact. In this context, a series of new concepts and policies have emerged, such as "carbon footprint", "low-carbon economy", "low-carbon technology", "low-carbon development", "low-carbon lifestyle", "low-carbon society", "low-carbon city" and "low-carbon world".

The result of the major changes in energy, economy and even values may pave a new way for the gradual transition towards ecological civilization, that is, to abandon the traditional growth model of the 20th century, directly apply the innovative technologies and innovative mechanisms of the new century, and achieve sustainable social development through a low-carbon economic model and low-carbon lifestyle.

Develop a low-carbon economy.

It also provides a rare opportunity for China to realize the fundamental transformation of its economic mode and land covering. Taking a low-carbon development path is not only a fundamental way to respond to global climate change, but also a sustainable development in China.

intrinsic needs. The development of a low-carbon economy is conducive to breaking through the bottleneck constraints of resources and environment in the process of China's economic development and taking a new path of industrialization. It is conducive to conforming to the trend of world economic and social change, and forming a sound policy mechanism and institutional guarantee for promoting sustainable development.

System; It is conducive to promoting China's industrial upgrading and enterprise technological innovation, and building China's future international core competitiveness; It is conducive to promoting the process of the world's response to climate change and establishing a good image of China as a responsible developing country for global environmental affairs.

The essence of low-carbon economy is the efficient use of energy, the development of clean energy, and the pursuit of green GDP, and the core is the fundamental transformation of energy technology and emission reduction technology innovation, industrial structure and system innovation, and the concept of human survival and development.

Significance. The sustainable development of ecological resources and low-carbon economy is, on the one hand, to actively assume the responsibility of environmental protection and complete the requirements of national energy conservation and consumption reduction indicators; On the other hand, it is necessary to adjust the economic structure, improve the efficiency of energy utilization, develop new industries, and build an ecological civilization. This is a realistic way to abandon the previous development model of pollution first and then treatment, low-end first and then high-end, extensive and then intensive, and is an inevitable choice to achieve a win-win situation of economic development and resource and environmental protection.

The low-carbon economy is an economic model based on low energy consumption, low pollution and low emissions, which is another major progress of human society after agricultural civilization and industrial civilization. The essence of low-carbon economy is the efficient use of energy, the development of clean energy, and the pursuit of green GDP, and the core is the fundamental transformation of energy technology and emission reduction technology innovation, industrial structure and system innovation, and the concept of human survival and development.

The background of the "low-carbon economy" is the severe challenge of global warming to the survival and development of mankind. With the continuous growth of the global population and economic scale, the environmental problems caused by energy use and their causes are constantly recognized, not only the hazards of smog, photochemical smog and acid rain, but also the global climate change caused by the increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere.
