Countries all over the world have reached a consensus on developing a low-carbon economy with low emissions, low pollution and low energy consumption. As the largest developing country in the world, China's economic development is deeply dependent on fossil energy, and its social and economic development is in the stage of industrialization and urbanization. Only by developing a low-carbon economy can we cope with climate warming and realize green and sustainable economic development. On the basis of discussing the concept, background and development trend of low-carbon economy, this paper puts forward the inevitability of developing low-carbon economy in China. In view of the opportunities and challenges faced by China in developing low-carbon economy, this paper puts forward the corresponding measures for developing low-carbon economy in China.
