Abstract

Based on many theoretical points from the Economics of Human Development, which I have studied for many years, and also the empirical clues provided from a perspective of “macro history,” and the recently released Research Report on Chinese Human Development Strategy, which says that we should be integrating today’s “low-carbon green development” background and many of the newer future trends. In this thesis, I will bring forth the opinion that “humanism’s low-carbon development” namely, human civilization and its progress is taking a course of freedom as the axis and is continuously improving the all-round free development of humankind.
