Abstract: A general consensus has been developed to proactively address climate change and promote green and low-carbon development in the international community. China, as a responsible major developing country, takes green and low-carbon development not only as its due international obligation to tackle global climate change, but also a priority in the implementation of the “Five Key Concepts for Development” (http://keywords.china.org.cn/2016-03/01/content_37907679.htm) and the realization of the “Two Centenary Goals” (http://www.china.org.cn/china/china_key_words/2014-11/18/content_34158771.htm). In this paper, the author reviews the major progress in tackling climate change worldwide in recent years, explores the nature of climate change based on the experiences of developed countries and China’s choice of development path, and analyzes China’s achievements and future development potential in green and low-carbon development.
