In September 2020, China committed to peaking carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, raising significant concerns internationally about the feasibility of these targets. This book offers a thorough analysis of the "Low-Carbon Plus" theory, where "low carbon" serves as the foundation, and "plus" signifies critical sectors undergoing low-carbon transformation, such as industry, agriculture, buildings, transportation, energy, and consumption. It presents a practical pathway for China to reach carbon neutrality. The book begins with the fundamental principles of the Low-Carbon Plus strategy, detailing the current low-carbon development landscape both domestically and globally. It distills essential experiences and insights while outlining a roadmap for implementing the strategy. Emphasizing emission reductions in primary and secondary industries, it advocates for the advancement of low-carbon finance and consumption to support the realization of the Low-Carbon Plus strategy. As a product of research from China's national think tank, this emerging development model aims to harmonize economic growth with technological and institutional innovation, promising significant and lasting effects on global economic dynamics.
