A New Path: China's Low-Carbon Plus Strategy

China announced in 2020 that it would peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2060. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the Low-Carbon Plus strategy, which focuses on low carbon as the core and plus represents critical areas that will go through low-carbon transformation. It outlines a roadmap for China to achieve carbon neutrality and recommends the development of low-carbon finance and consumption to facilitate the strategy's realization. Low-Carbon Plus is an emerging development model that complements economic development and forces technological, institutional, and mind shift, and is expected to have a significant impact on global economic growth.

China has made a remarkable commitment to address climate change by setting ambitious targets for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. This ambitious plan has garnered significant attention from the international community, as it raises questions about the feasibility and practicalities of achieving these goals. In response, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the Low-Carbon Plus strategy, which aims to achieve low-carbon development in key sectors such as industry, agriculture, buildings, transportation, energy, and consumption.

The book begins by introducing the basic theory of Low-Carbon Plus, emphasizing the importance of low-carbon as the core and plus as the critical areas that require low-carbon transformation. It then provides a detailed overview of the low-carbon development situation both domestically and abroad, drawing on essential experiences and inspirations. The book outlines a roadmap for China to implement the Low-Carbon Plus strategy, focusing on emission reduction in primary and secondary industries while also promoting the development of low-carbon finance and consumption.

One of the key strengths of this book is its emphasis on the practical aspects of achieving carbon neutrality. It offers a comprehensive set of recommendations and strategies that can be implemented by China to achieve its carbon targets. The book also highlights the importance of technological innovation, institutional innovation, and a mind shift in driving the implementation of the Low-Carbon Plus strategy.

Low-Carbon Plus is an emerging development model that complements economic development and forces technological innovation, institutional innovation, and mind shift. It is expected to have a significant and far-reaching impact on global economic growth, as it promotes sustainable practices and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

In conclusion, China's commitment to address climate change through the Low-Carbon Plus strategy is a significant step forward. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the strategy and offers practical recommendations for its implementation. By focusing on emission reduction, promoting low-carbon finance and consumption, and fostering technological innovation, China can achieve its carbon targets and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change.
