Green and Low-Carbon Transition in China

This book provides a data-driven analysis of green and low-carbon development in China through a detailed regional study of Anhui Province. Integrating policy interpretation with empirical assessment, it offers a structured approach to understanding subnational implementation of China's dual-carbon strategy.

Based on a newly developed Green and Low-Carbon Development Index (GLCDI) and longitudinal data from 2011 to 2022, the book evaluates development performance across provinces, cities, key industries, and pilot initiatives. Quantitative measurement is combined with case studies on low-carbon city programs, national carbon market participation, green finance policies, and collaborative mechanisms for pollution and carbon reduction.

Linking macro-level policy goals with regional practices, the volume highlights transferable experiences and governance pathways relevant to other industrial and resource-based regions. It is intended for researchers and graduate students in sustainability and environmental economics, as well as policymakers and practitioners engaged in climate and low-carbon development.
