Description:
By the end of 2012, China has selected a series of pilot projects for low-carbon development across the country, including 6 provincial level pilots, 36 low-carbon pilot cities, 26 low-carbon transportation cities, 7 green and low-carbon towns. Meanwhile, macro-scopical strategic researches on low-carbon development are also initiated, as low-carbon urbanization being one of its main research focuses.
Annual Report on Actions to Address Climate Change (2013) focuses on topics of low-carbon urbanization. Experts on climate science, energy, climate policies and urbanization are invited to write about hot topics on climate change, urbanization and low-carbon transition practices, climate resilience of cities, etc. The report also discusses low-carbon urbanization pathway based on case studies.
