This book explores China’s low-carbon consumption in the context of residential behavior, corporate practices and policy implication. It first calculates the carbon and ecological footprints of residential consumption, including both direct and indirect emissions, before discussing Chinese residential behavioral aspects and determinants of electricity saving, low-carbon transportation, low-carbon product purchasing, and e-waste recycling. The authors then investigate the relationship between industrial growth and carbon emissions, using the example of the iron and steel industry to examine the motivation for energy intensive industries to reduce carbon emissions. They also consider energy efficiency and inter-company collaboration on carbon emission reduction. Lastly, the book describes the major low-carbon policies in China and their impact, economic cost and public acceptance. 《Low-Carbon Consumption in China: Residential Behavior, Corporate Practices and Policy Implication》从居民、企业和政府政策三个层面,全景式探讨了低碳消费在中国的发展实践。首先,《Low-Carbon Consumption in China: Residential Behavior, Corporate Practices and Policy Implication》针对中国居民在日常节能、低碳交通、低碳产品购买与电子废弃物回收利用方面的行为,计算了居民直接消费和间接消费的碳足迹和生态足迹。然后《Low-Carbon Consumption in China: Residential Behavior, Corporate Practices and Policy Implication》研究了工业经济增长和碳排放的关系,以钢铁产业为例探讨了能源密集型产业参与碳减排的动机,并将企业间协同合作纳入碳减排分析。*后,《Low-Carbon Consumption in China: Residential Behavior, Corporate Practices and Policy Implication》梳理了中国主要的低碳减排政策,并分析了典型政策的经济成本和社会效益。
