Abstract: Abstract Cities are a key space and actor to promote the transition to a low-carbon economy as well as high-quality economic and social development. China has always attached great importance to the initiative and creativity of cities in the effort to achieve climate action goals. The National Development and Reform Commission has piloted the low-carbon city program three times in 2010, with good results achieved. For the “dual carbon” goals, cities, as the “pioneers”, will enjoy a strategic window period for green transition with increasing policy support. Under the rigid constraint of carbon emissions, cities will move faster to explore a win-win path of emission reduction and economic growth, build confidence to achieve the “dual carbon” goals, endeavor to set an example in carbon neutrality, and better play the role in helping to achieve the “dual carbon” goals as low-carbon cities.
