低碳经济内涵研究

Research on Connotation of Low Carbon Economy

摘要: 低碳经济内涵研究是低碳经济基础理论研究中的一项重要内容，它是低碳经济理论体系形成和建立的基石。本文在回顾和总结理论界有关低碳经济内涵研究成果的基础上，对低碳经济的内涵进行了界定，提出了狭义和广义两个层次的概念体系。笔者认为，狭义的低碳经济本质上反映了碳排放与经济增长之间的矛盾，是关于两者之间的选择问题。而广义的低碳经济(即低碳发展)是一个可持续发展问题，它的建立和实施是为了更好地解决人类发展的延续性和自然资源承载能力、生态环境容量之间的冲突。低碳经济与低碳发展虽然存在着一定的区别，但是两者在出发点、根本任务以及最终目标上有着统一性。因此，低碳经济是低碳发展的初级阶段和必由之路，低碳发展是低碳经济的最终目标。

Abstract: The study related to low carbon economy concept is an important content in the basic theory research of low carbon economy. It is a block that low carbon economy theoretical system founded on. This paper has reviewed and summarized the results related to the connotation of low carbon economy at present, and defined the connotation of low carbon economy. Meanwhile, it has offered the conceptual system which is consist of narrow sense and broad sense of low carbon economy. The author considers that the narrow sense in essence reflects the contradiction between carbon emission and economic growth and is a selection problem about both sides. On the other hand, the generalized low carbon economy (means the low carbon development) is in essence a sustainable development problem. Its establishment and implement is in order to better solve the conflict between the continuity of human development and natural resources carrying capacity, the ecological environmental capacity. Low carbon economy and low carbon development though there exist a certain distinction, but both in starting point, basic task and ultimate goal have unity. Therefore, low carbon economy is initial stage and only way of low carbon development, low carbon development is the ultimate goal of low carbon economic.
