Abstract: As one of China's most ancient ethnic minorities, Qiang nationality has extremely distinctive production mode and lifestyle, religious belief, customs and habits, etc, from which traditional Qiang ecological culture grows. In this paper, the content of traditional Qiang ecological culture is introduced at first from four aspects: the ecological culture contained in the primitive religion, the ecological culture contained in myths and legends, the ecological culture reflected by lifestyle and production mode, and the ecological culture embodied in rites (etiquette and custom); next, the method of traditional environmental consciousness education is discussed, including education and warning under the Nasa tower, memorial ceremony for the mountains, taboo education and other Qiang ceremonies; finally, the realistic significances of traditional Qiang ecological culture and environmental consciousness in the ecological environment recovery and protection and sustainable development of Qiang area after the 5.12 earthquake are stated.

Abstract: About 50% of the world's resources and energy is used for buildings, and green building becomes hot topic of theory. We mainly consider the issues from technological improvement. Few people from subjectivity think what kind of life we needed and what kind of manner we needed to do with energy and environment. This paper refers to traditional ideas of energy and environment, concerning reflection on philosophical ontology. Western modern technological civilization emphasizes tool rationality which produces immediate effect, but that of long-term, far-reaching, integrity often becoming blind spot. Sustainable development of building and city should overcome shortage of single thinking such as economic geography. Because closely with human culture and values, buildings and cities have three natures including implements, symbols and images.

Abstract: As a big country of exports trade, China’s carbon dioxide emission embodied in exports is considerable, and its regional difference is significant. The paper chooses nineteen provinces (municipality city and autonomous region) to evaluate their carbon dioxide emission embodied in exports using input-output analysis. Results show that regional difference of carbon dioxide emission embodied in exports is significant, and its basic character is carbon dioxide emission embodied in exports of east is higher than west. The paper chooses Liaoning and Ningxia as cases, using structural decomposition analysis model to decompose their difference of carbon dioxide emission embodied in exports. The difference of carbon dioxide emission embodied in exports is decomposed into four parts: direct carbon dioxide intensity difference, intermediate technology difference, exports volume and structure difference. Results indicate that their contribution value is-589.60 ten thousand ton,-316.04 ten thousand ton,5947.99 ten thousand ton and -344.94 ten thousand ton respectively. So carbon dioxide emission embodied in exports of Liaoning is more than that of Ningxia because of their exports volume difference. Direct carbon dioxide intensity, intermediate technology difference and exports structure effect are factors to promote carbon dioxide emission embodied in exports of Liaoning is less than Ningxia, but their effect is smaller than exports volume effect. So the main reason of China’s carbon dioxide emission regional difference is exports volume.

Abstract: According to ‘IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories’, carbon emission coefficients were estimated. Then based on input-output analysis methods, the carbon emission model was built and the carbon emission in different inventories had been calculated in China in 2007. According to the calculation, we can get some meaningful conclusions for carbon reduction in China, which are useful for policy-makers.

Abstract: Due to the impact of climate change, the development of low-carbon economy and building a low carbon city has become one of the optimal mode of urban development in the future. This paper first describes the related concepts of low-carbon cities, introduces the status of the development of low carbon cities in Shandong Province, identify the favorable conditions and unfavorable factors of the development of low carbon cities in Shandong Province, and finally put forward countermeasures and suggestions. This article points out that Shandong Province should improve the low - carbon policies and systems, build a legal system, increase low-carbon capital investment, develop the carbon trading markets, adjust industrial structure, promote energy conservation etc, then realize the healthy development of low-carbon city.

Abstract: This paper focused on the monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) establish in China’s future emissions trading scheme (ETs) through the experience from overseas MRV of emissions trading scheme. First, introduced what is ETs and theory of emissions trading scheme. Then, analyzed the key elements in ETs and the effect of MRV in establishing ETs. Third, using comparison analysis summarized the general requirements from MRV of EU ETS, JVETS and RGGI. Finally, summarized the experiences in the aspects: identification of boundary, emission resource, monitoring methodologies, reporting and verification. And proposed some suggestions for MRV establishing in China’s future ETs.

Abstract: The mandatory classification of household waste forms the foundation and prerequisite for the waste recycle and reuse. This paper takes Xiamen’s local rule on the municipal household waste as a positivistic case, analyzes the results of the provision stipulating the mandatory obligation of household waste classification and the causes, and proposes relevant advices to improve the situation.

Abstract: Because China is in an accelerated industrialization and urbanization development stage, low carbon economy transformation is subject to the pressure of the external environment.The low carbon economy is in response to climate change under the background of sustainable development of economic growth mode, the low carbon technology development and the reserve in China lags behind the developed countries,and so low carbon economy economy transformation is facing many difficulties.The government and the enterprise must make and carry out scientific development strategy ,pay great attention to the low carbon technology innovation and use,and strengthen the system innovation and institutional constraints security function.Through the guidance and encouragement improving energy efficiency technology,energy saving technology, renewable energy technology and green gas emission reduction technology,and through the change of economic and social development philosophy,achieve higher carbon productivity economic prosperity.

Abstract: Chinese textile industry’s energy saving and emission reduction has become the crucial matter of sustainable development. On the condition of market economy, there are market failures in the fields of energy saving and emission reduction. This text in the view of the economics’ characteristic on energy saving and emission reduction, analyze the mechanism of the industry regulation to solve this problem and conceive the mechanism to regulate the energy saving and emission reduction.

Abstract: Clean Development Mechanism is one of the Climate Mitigation tools with the purposes to reduce GHGs. We resemble the one-shot public-goods game to deduce the constraints for CDM’s long-term effectiveness. By studying PDDs of China’s registered programs, we find the effect of technology transfer is not obvious. The dilemma between CDM’s additionality and host countries’ environment policies, as well as the dilemma between CDM as public good and technology as private good can account for the uncertainty about CDM after the expiring of Kyoto Protocols. Our analysis shows with the development of Carbon Finance of the host countries and the symmetry of information between each participant have a positive affect on the effectiveness of CDM.
