What are the characteristics of low-carbon economic development model?

Increase the proportion of clean energy in the energy consumption structure, and increase the application proportion of energy-saving technologies in existing industries.

Extended data:

I. Definition

Low-carbon economy is an economic model based on low energy consumption, low pollution and low emission. Its essence is to use energy efficiently, develop clean energy and pursue green GDP. Its core is the innovation of energy technology and emission reduction technology, the innovation of industrial structure and system, the fundamental change of human survival and development concept, and the great progress of human society after agricultural civilization and industrial civilization.

Second, the significance

Low-carbon economy is to obtain more economic output and create a higher standard of living and better quality of life through less consumption of natural resources and less environmental pollution, which creates opportunities for the development, application and export of advanced technologies, as well as new business opportunities and more employment opportunities.

Third, characteristics

1, low-carbon technological innovation is a direct means to develop a low-carbon economy;

2. Take the development and utilization of new clean and renewable energy as an important measure;

3. Reduce energy consumption and pollutant emission, that is, realize "three lows" in the process of economic development: low energy consumption, low emission and low pollution;

4. Carry out relevant institutional innovation and legal system construction around low-carbon technological innovation and new clean energy development;

Economic growth is decoupled from energy consumption and carbon-containing gas (mainly carbon dioxide) emission, so it can't keep up with the pace of growth. While maintaining economic growth, it can improve energy efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions.

Fourth, the development model.

The development mode of low-carbon economy is a global revolution involving production mode, lifestyle and values, and it is another major progress of human society after agricultural civilization and industrial civilization.

Energy conservation and emission reduction refers to reducing energy waste and reducing exhaust emissions. China's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" outlines that during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the energy consumption per unit of GDP will be reduced by about 20%, and the total discharge of major pollutants will be reduced by 10%. This is an important measure to implement Scientific Outlook on Development and build a harmonious socialist society. It is an inevitable choice for building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society; It is the only way to promote economic restructuring and change the growth mode; It is an inevitable requirement for safeguarding the long-term interests of the Chinese nation.
