Summary:

"This volume is a translation of 'China Low-Carbon Development Report (2013)', originally published in Chinese. The articles report findings from research conducted by the Climate Policy Initiative at Tsinghua University. The focus of this volume is energy. Following an overview of the politics and economics of the implementation of low carbon development policies and related institutional innovations, the topical reports examine three key areas of low-carbon development in China: innovative practices in energy conservation, investment in and financing for energy efficiency improvements, and for renewable energy development. Four articles are devoted to assessing the Target-oriented Accountability System, two survey the country's recent efforts to boost investment in energy efficiency improvements, and four look at clean energy development."--Page 4 of cover
