기후변화에 대비한 중국의 탄소배출가스 저감을 위한 에너지 정책연구

This article focuses on the concept of energy policies in assessing whether, and how, the priorities related to climate change are gradually changing. After analysing climate change's impact on China, conducted via an analysis of the study's available literature and through the support of international data, this article mainly focuses on the China's efforts to transition towards a low-carbon economy. This article in turn, addresses the relationship between energy policies and climate change. The results presented in the conclusion insist that, in order to strengthen environmental protection in China, it is crucial to reform the highly inefficient and strictly regulated national energy market. In doing so, China's transition to a low-carbon society and economy could prove less painful, as China's available resources offer the potential for a strengthened ecological dimension and sustained socio-economic development. I suggests some options for addressing these issues. Gaining a better understanding of these issues provides a window into the prospects of legally binding emissions commitments by China. More importantly for those engaged in practical and constructive efforts to engage China on climate change. Institutional concerns about China's implementation of any future GHG emission limits also suggest an important area of activity for the U.S. and other industrialized nations. In addition to negotiating with central government and foreign affairs officials about the need of China to take on formal GHG emission limits, governments should also engage China directly in the regulatory implementation of any commitments or voluntary initiatives to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Such efforts will be difficult and require patience and persistence. But they are likely to have much greater substantive effects and will be more important than international agreements setting numerical emission targets. I review the status of China's energy policies regulation, strategies and policies to address climate change, as well as to mitigate carbon emissions. This article turn to the Climate Plan's shortcomings with respect to environmental sustainability and effectiveness. I suggests some options for addressing these issues. Gaining a better understanding of these issues provides a window into the prospects of legally binding emissions commitments by China. National energy policies, parallel with the ultimate goal of emissions reductions, is of utmost priority for the Chinese government. In order to comply with the requirements set by the Kyoto Protocol, the Chinese government announced, on 25 November 2009, that 2020's CO2 emissions would be reduced by 40-45 per cent in accordance with the data collected from 2005. Said goal was met three years ahead of schedule. Even in light of such an accomplishment, however, commentators suggest that the overall nationally determined contributions (NDCs) made by the Parties belonging to the Paris agreement are not enough to reduce global warming.
