Supporting and Evaluation System of Low Carbon Transport in China

Abstract:

Climate change is an important global problem, which is concerned by the international community. As the major sector of energy consumption and the main source of greenhouse gases, it is imperative for Chinese transport industry to take on a low-carbon development path in order to alleviate the energy and environment pressure. The basic content and characteristics of low carbon transport are summarized. The four supporting systems of low carbon transport, namely industrial supporting system, infrastructure supporting system, life supporting system and policy supporting system are brought forth. Moreover, the evaluation system of low carbon transport from three aspects namely low carbon efficiency, low carbon guide and low carbon society is established. On the basis of the two systems, advices are provided in this paper. Government, enterprises and city dwellers should play different roles in low carbon transport development. All the people are involved in the development of low carbon transport and the construction of low carbon cities.
