摘要
随着工业化、城市化的深入发展,人类活动造成的能源安全与全球环境变化日益引起全球的广泛关注,以低消耗、低排放、低污染、高效益为特征"低碳"发展模式受到国际社会、政府、环境非政府组织(E-NGOs)等推崇,各界纷纷开展"低碳"的理论研究与实践探索。本文在简要概述"低碳"发展的时代背景的基础上,从理论研究与价值取向、宏观碳排放及驱动因素、低碳经济性与实现策略、微观碳排放与低碳生活方式、低碳城市发展与空间规划等5个方面对国内外的低碳研究进行回顾,并从理论与实践的关系、研究重点的差异、研究尺度的缺失、机制的探讨等方面进行评价,并展望未来的低碳研究—全面并力求反映现实的、面向未来与强调适应的、全球变化下不确定性的、追求品质与促进公平的低碳研究。
With industrialization and urbanization, energy security and man-made environmental change become a global concern. After world financial crisis, international negotiations and dialogues on transitions of development pattern and response to climate change have been made. It is necessary to rethink the significant issues of development and environmental protection. In this context, low-carbon development patterns of which the characteristics are lower energy consumption, lower carbon emission, less pollution and higher effectiveness have been widely pursued by many international societies, national states and environmental non-governmental organizations who are trying to approach theoretical formation and practical development on low carbon. This paper reviews related researches on low carbon from several perspectives including ＂the- ories and values＂, ＂macro-level carbon emission and its drivers＂, ＂low-carbon economics and strategies for decarbonisation＂, ＂micro-level carbon emission and low-carbon lifestyle＂, ＂low-carbon urban development and spatial planning＂. Based on the literature review, the authors evaluate existing studies on low carbon from four aspects which are ＂the relationship between theories and practices＂, ＂the differences between developed countries＇ and domestic topical subjects＂, ＂the losses of research scales＂, and ＂the exploration of mechanisms for carbon emission＂. Finally, the authors suggest that the further researches should focus on comprehensive analysis of carbon emission mechanism; statistics and estimations of urban carbon emission; urban low-car- bon construction and development; limitations and obstacles of new environmental policy instruments for downscaling; analysis of implications and outcomes of global change on resilience, vulnerability and adaptation of objects and systems studied.
