Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-carbon development is an active pathway to address climate change, which is also a mission for facilitating carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in China. President Xi Jinping solemnly announced on behalf of the Chinese government in 2020 that China is committed to reaching the peak of carbon emissions by 2030, and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. This strategic decision is not only an inherent requirement for China’s sustainable development, but also an international responsibility in response to climate change.
This Special Issue welcomes empirical, theoretical and technical papers that focus on the recent progress of low carbon consumption and production in China. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Energy transition;
- Industrial transformation;
- Low-carbon policy;
- Carbon neutrality;
- Low carbon consumption;
- Low-carbon technology;
- Low-carbon life.
