This open access book introduces a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive research on China's long-term low-carbon emission strategies and pathways. After comprehensively considering China’s own socioeconomic conditions, policy design, energy mix, and other macro-development trends and needs, the research team has proposed suggestions on China’s low-carbon development strategies and pathways until 2050, with required technologies and policies in order to realize the goals of building a great modern socialist country and a beautiful China. These achievements are in conjunction with the climate goals set in the Paris Agreement alongside Global Sustainable Development. The authors hope that the research findings can serve as a reference for all sectors of Chinese society in their climate research efforts, offer support for the formulation and implementation of china’s national low-carbon development strategies and policies, and help the world to better understand China’s story in the general trend of global green and low-carbon development.

Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development (hereinafter ICCSD) of Tsinghua University was founded in December 2017. Mr. XIE Zhenhua, China's Special Envoy on Climate Change, serves as the inaugural president. ICCSD is missioned to provide solutions to global challenges of climate change and sustainable development, and propose coordinated goals, strategies, pathways, and policy recommendations to decision-makers in China and beyond.
