Abstract
Financial crises, energy prices, climate change, and low carbon economies were among the hot topics of world development in the past several years. The outbreak of the financial crisis in late 2008 took a heavy toll on the world’s economy and resulted in the most serious recession since World War II. The UN Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen in December 2009 resulted in the Copenhagen Accord, a political agreement struck by world leaders. The year 2010 was the last year for the Chinese government to achieve its targets for energy savings related to the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” and it was also the first year in the Chinese government’s struggle to cut carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40–50 % by 2020. At present, all levels of the Chinese government are developing the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan,” in which the topics relevant to energy resources and climate change will have a more important place.
