The Impact of Low-carbon Economy on China's International Trade Development

Abstract

With the steady improvement of global living standards, economic and societal advancements have accelerated unabated, resulting in a surge in energy consumption. This escalation has brought to the forefront pressing ecological and environmental concerns, notably the exacerbation of the "greenhouse effect." Consequently, the imperative of harmonizing economic growth with the imperative to mitigate ecological and environmental degradation has garnered global attention. Within this milieu, the concept of the low-carbon economy has gained ascendancy and garnered widespread resonance and endorsement. Nations across the world have accordingly launched a plethora of policies and measures aimed at propelling low-carbon development into a novel vector for economic progress. Simultaneously, this shift has reverberated within the realm of international trade. This paper endeavors to delineate the parameters of the low-carbon economy and international trade, followed by a meticulous dissection of the prospects and tribulations engendered by the low-carbon economy's maturation within the context of China's international trade landscape. Lastly, it proffers a compendium of strategies tailored to steer China's international trade towards a trajectory that is congruent with the imperatives of the low-carbon economy, serving as a valuable point of reference for policymakers and stakeholders alike.
