Abstract
Since the 21st century, problems of energy shortage and global warming due to human activities in production and life have raised extensive global attention. Many countries across the world have adopted the low-carbon development mode, with the latter aimed at reducing carbon emissions from human activities. And many international organizations, national governments introduce policies and laws to promote low-carbon mode of development. Among developed counties, Britain, the U.S. and Japan are taking the leading role.
