低碳转型的背景与途径——从哥本哈根会议说起

气候变化问题已经引起了当今社会的广泛关注。随着科学认知的深化和国际气候政治博弈的升温,低碳转型被提上国际和国内议事日程。然而,哥本哈根会议给我们的启示是：世界气候变化问题的谈判不仅关乎保护全球气候,更涉及国家发展权益。作为发展中国家,中国只能通过发展来应对气候变化,不可能也不应该约束发展来减少温室气体排放。经济要低碳,低碳也必须经济可行。因而,低碳途径的选择需要循序渐进,稳步发展。

Background and Approach of Low-carbon Transition --from the Copenhagen Conference

Climate change issues have caused wide attentions by society. With deepening of scientific cognition and heating up of gaming of international climate politics, low-carbon transition is on the international and domestic agenda. However, the message that Copenhagen Conference gave to us is that the negotiations on global climate change is not only about protecting global climate, but concerning development rights of a country. As a developing country, China can only respond to climate change by the way of development, can not and should not restrain development to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. Economy should be low-carbon and low-carbon should also be economical and feasible. Therefore, the selection of low-carbon path needs advance gradually in due order and develop steadily.
