China's urban low-carbon development is still in the exploratory stage

The Shenri climate organization recently published a report on China's Clean Revolution: cities in China on the Climate Leaders ' summit, observing and analyzing the different paths and processes of low-carbon development in China's cities from the power of Low-carbon Development, Development Foundation, route, key development areas and challenges.　　The report also draws on the experience of the international Low-carbon city development, and puts forward some suggestions for the next low-carbon development of Chinese cities. Report shows that influenced by external factors, such as urban climate security, emission reduction responsibility, economic transformation and other internal causes, as well as the international community's negotiation and action on climate change, the approval of the domestic government for Low-carbon economy, the promotion of Low-carbon solutions of enterprises and the research practice of "Low-carbon City Project" of academic institutions, Starting from the voluntary beginning of some local cities in the early 2008, Chinese cities have chosen Low-carbon development, and from the foundation and advantages of the city, they have tried and pondered the different paths.　　Appeared in Baoding, Texas, Nanchang as the representative of the Low-carbon industry from the beginning of the "carbon" city, with Hangzhou, Chengdu, Wuxi, as the representative of the Urban Low-carbon development of integrated planning, with Xiamen as the representative of the urban space-oriented low-carbon planning, Tianjin as the representative of the city to comprehensively respond to climate change thinking.　　Still, the report argues that the road to Low-carbon development in China's cities is still at an early stage of exploration. The weak data base makes it impossible for cities to grasp the distribution and trend of carbon emissions accurately.　　The weak data base has become the primary technical obstacle in the city's Low-carbon planning, and the reason why the national Development and Reform Commission has asked the pilot cities to establish a system for data statistics and management of greenhouse gas emissions. --high-speed urbanization and the old urban planning of carbon lock-in, so that the urban stock and increase the low carbon parallel.　　Chinese cities are faced with the reality of high speed urbanization, coupled with the old urban planning of carbon lock-in, requiring urban planning beyond simple space planning, transportation, construction, urban forest and agriculture, urban area development and other areas to fully consider the factors of carbon, urban planning innovation is imperative. -Institutional barriers and policy integration.　　Institutional barriers and policy integration have always been a problem in various policy areas, and the low carbon development of cities is a comprehensive problem, with higher demands for policy integration and intersectoral coordination. The urban managers ' cognition and knowledge accumulation and management ability of low-carbon should be improved, and more practicable urban low-carbon development plans and strategies should be formulated to meet various challenges.
