The difference between low-carbon economy and circular economy; Characteristics of low-carbon economy

The difference between 1: First, the research angle is different. Circular economy pays attention to the material recycling application of the whole society, emphasizes recycling and ecological efficiency, repeatedly uses resources, and advocates resource conservation and full utilization in the whole process of production, circulation and consumption. Low-carbon economy is mainly aimed at the energy field and coping with global warming, focusing on establishing a low-carbon economic structure and reducing carbon energy consumption, and establishing a coping mechanism and development model for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and coping with global warming in the whole society. Second, the implementation of control links is different. Starting from the process of interaction between economic system and natural system, circular economy studies the interaction between economic activities and natural system from the input end of resources and the output end of waste respectively. At the same time, circular economy also pays attention to the influence of the exhaustion of resources, especially non-renewable resources, on economic development. Low-carbon economy emphasizes the energy input end of economic activities. By reducing carbon emissions, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere will not change profoundly, and the natural ecosystems and climatic conditions on which human beings depend will be protected. Third, the core content is different. The core of circular economy is material circulation, which makes all kinds of materials recycled and improves resource efficiency and environmental efficiency. Low-carbon economy is based on low energy consumption and low pollution, and its core is the fundamental change of energy technology innovation, system innovation and human consumption development concept. 2. Features: Low-carbon economy refers to a form of economic development under the guidance of the concept of sustainable development, through technological innovation, institutional innovation, industrial transformation, new energy development and other means, as far as possible to reduce the consumption of high-carbon energy such as coal and oil, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve win-win economic and social development and ecological environmental protection. Low-carbon economy refers to a form of economic development under the guidance of the concept of sustainable development, through technological innovation, institutional innovation, industrial transformation, new energy development and other means, as far as possible to reduce the consumption of high-carbon energy such as coal and oil, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve win-win economic and social development and ecological environmental protection. To develop a low-carbon economy, on the one hand, we should actively undertake environmental protection responsibilities and meet the requirements of national energy conservation and consumption reduction indicators; On the other hand, it is to adjust the economic structure, improve the efficiency of energy utilization, develop emerging industries and build ecological civilization. This is a realistic way to abandon the previous development model of pollution first and then treatment, low-end first and high-end, extensive first and intensive first, and an inevitable choice to achieve a win-win situation for economic development and resource and environmental protection.
