The so-called low-carbon economy, under the guidance of the concept of sustainable development, means to reduce the consumption of high-carbon energy such as coal and oil as far as possible, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve a win-win economic and social development and ecological environment protection under the guidance of the concept of sustainable development. To develop low-carbon economy, on the one hand, it is necessary to actively undertake the responsibility of environmental protection and meet the requirements of national energy-saving and consumption reduction targets; on the other hand, it is necessary to adjust the economic structure, improve the efficiency of energy utilization, develop new industries and build ecological civilization.
What is low carbon economy? The meaning of low carbon economy
Low carbon economy is an economic model based on low energy consumption, low pollution and low emission. It is another major progress of human society after agricultural civilization and industrial civilization. The ideal form of "low carbon economy" is to fully develop "sunshine economy", "wind energy economy", "hydrogen energy economy" and "biomass energy economy". Its essence is to improve energy utilization efficiency and clean energy structure and pursue green GDP. Its core is the fundamental change of energy technology innovation, system innovation and human survival and development concept. The development mode of low-carbon economy provides an operational interpretation for energy conservation and emission reduction, development of circular economy and construction of a harmonious society.
It is a comprehensive innovation and practice to implement the scientific outlook on development and build a conservation oriented society. It is fully in line with the development ideas put forward in the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is the only way to realize the sustainable development of China's economy. It is an irreversible epoch-making trend And the global revolution of production mode, mode and values. Professor Zhang kunmin, a famous low-carbon economist and former deputy director of the State Environmental Protection Administration, believes that low-carbon economy is the most feasible and quantifiable sustainable development mode at present.
Worldwide, solar power generation is expected to reach only 10% of the world's electricity supply by 2030, while the proven reserves of oil, gas and coal will be exhausted in the next 40, 60 and 100 years, respectively. Therefore, in the coming decades of the transition from "carbon fuel civilization era" to "solar energy civilization era" (wind energy and biomass energy are the conversion forms of solar energy), one of the important meanings of "low-carbon economy" and "low-carbon life" is to save fossil energy consumption and provide time guarantee for the popularization and utilization of new energy. Especially from the perspective of China's energy structure, low carbon means energy saving, and low carbon economy is based on low energy consumption and low pollution.
Low carbon tide
Low carbon economy covers almost all industries. Famous scholar Lin Hui called it "the fifth global industrial wave", and for the first time extended the connotation of low-carbon into: low-carbon society, low-carbon economy, low-carbon production, low-carbon consumption, low-carbon life, low-carbon city, low-carbon community, low-carbon family, low-carbon tourism, low-carbon culture, low-carbon philosophy, low-carbon art, low-carbon music, low-carbon life, low-carbon existentialism and low-carbon lifestyle.
