低碳经济是相对于高碳经济而言的,是直接为了应对全球气候变暖对人类生存发展的严峻挑战而提出的一种经济发展模式。事实上,低碳经济最初是作为一种能源战略提出来的,因此,目前研究低碳经济的文献主要集中在政策研究的层面,还没有上升到理论层面对低碳经济进行总结。本文基于低碳经济的一般定义,从政治经济学的视角对低碳经济进行解读,从而构建一个解释低碳经济的理论框架,为深化低碳经济的理论研究和政策研究提供一种可资借鉴的方法。 The low-carbon economy is relative to the high-carbon economy, which is an economic development model put forward directly to deal with the severe challenge of global warming to the survival and development of mankind. In fact, the low-carbon economy was originally proposed as an energy strategy. Therefore, the current literature on low-carbon economy mainly focuses on policy research and has not risen to the theoretical level to summarize the low-carbon economy. Based on the general definition of low-carbon economy, this paper interprets the low-carbon economy from the perspective of political economy, so as to build a theoretical framework for explaining low-carbon economy and provide a reference for further theoretical and policy research on low-carbon economy.
