Abstract:

Introduction to the publication experience of high-level journal papers


Contents:

As climate change is affecting the survival of human beings and all aspects of the social economy, it has become the consensus of all mankind to deal with global climate change. A growing number of national governments have put forward a carbon-neutral vision and converted it into a national strategy. Turning the version into action requires a practical and feasible development path. Forecasting and analyzing low-carbon energy technologies that may play an important role in the transformation process is rather important. Dr. Meng Jing's report will introduce the trend of carbon emission changes in recent years and its driving factors, as well as the role and cost changes of low-carbon technology innovation in the process of emission reduction.
