Abstract
In accordance with the above analysis and the economic development level of China, we can conclude that: the current status of CO2 emissions of China can be classified into survival-based emissions. And China needs to coordinate between economic development and CO2 emission reduction, which means that China needs to slow down the increasing rate of CO2 emissions in major emission-intensive sectors, increase the proportion of renewable energy consumption, optimize the economic structure and energy consumption structure, strengthen the R&D and introduction of GHG emission reduction technologies, and further improve the energy utilization efficiency while maintaining the pace of economic growth.
