This book offers a fresh perspective on how China's administrative law theory and system can adapt to the challenges of the low-carbon era, drawing upon the country's 25-year experience (1990-2015) in addressing climate change. By utilizing administrative law's fundamental content and structure as an analytical framework, the book explores two key dimensions: restraining the government's own activities to meet low-carbon requirements and prompting the government to effectively fulfill its new role in implementing low-carbon regulations.

Through a systematic study of the due changes and developments in theories and systems such as the basic principles of administrative law, administrative entities, administrative actions, administrative processes, and administration liabilities, the book aims to unravel the vital role of China's administrative law in coping with climate change. Moreover, it seeks to explore and answer the development of China's administrative law theories and systems to align with the new requirements proposed by the government administration in the low-carbon era.

As the world's first legal monograph dedicated to low-carbon administration in China within the field of administrative law, this book presents novel, forward-thinking, and pertinent viewpoints. It offers a unique analysis, rich content, and detailed information, drawing upon cross-disciplinary research in environmental protection, environmental law, and administrative law. Furthermore, the book serves as a valuable window into the development of China's administrative law, particularly in the realm of low-carbon administration.

The publication of this book will provide a necessary theoretical foundation for further in-depth research on this topic from both Chinese and international legal circles. It will contribute to the global discourse on addressing climate change and promoting sustainable development, making a significant impact on the legal and policy landscape.
