3, China Toward a Low-carbon Economy (1) Background
Copenhagen Accord (COP15, Denmark 2009):
• United States sets its targets that would reduce GHG emissions to 17% below 2005 levels by 2020; 42% by 2030; and 83% by 2050.
• European Union promised to cut its GHG emissions by 30% below 1990 levels by 2020.
• New Japan government pledged to cut its GHG emissions by 25% below 1990 levels by 2020.
• Canada's target is to reduce GHG emissions by 20% below 2006 levels by 2020.
• China announced its intention to reduce the CO2 emissions
intensity within its economy by 40-45% by 2020.

Conclusions on decomposition of energy intensity of GDP
• Energy saving due to structural effect mostly comes from structural
adjustment within the secondary sector and tertiary sector
– Structural adjustment among the primary sector, the secondary sector
and the tertiary sector only contribute about 7.9%

Conclusions on decomposition of energy intensity of GDP
• From the perspective of action based approach, most energy saving comes from the ten key energy saving projects.

China became the second super economic power as well as the largest carbon emitter in the world.
China, as an emerging economy and responsible super power, should take bigger responsibility and act as a leader in carbon emission reduction.
China has been making the biggest contribution to the global worming world issue by actively dealing reducing energy intensity and carbon emissions.
The 12th FYP will lead China to a Green-low-carbon Economy.
