| Summary |
This book introduces readers to the status quo and recent advances in Chinas low-carbon development. From the evolution of human civilization, to the proposal of low-carbon concepts, up to the choice of Chinas low-carbon path, the book provides a comprehensive review of low-carbon development, while also elaborating on the core concept, goals and methods. In addition, it addresses a series of questions and issues closely tied to todays social development, such as: "Why is it so vital to pursue low-carbon development?" and "How can China implement low-carbon development?" Accordingly, readers will gain a better grasp of low-carbon development, including low-carbon production and low-carbon lifestyles |
