Description

The frequent occurrence of extreme weather events and the imbalance of ecosystems caused by global warming have become common challenges for the sustainable development of human society, promoting the transformation of energy structure. Achieving the goal of carbon neutrality has become the consensus choice of all countries in the world. By 2025, more than 130 countries and regions have made carbon neutrality commitments. Also, external energy dependence is a core indicator of national energy security, affected by multiple factors such as energy policy adjustment, trade pattern reconstruction and technological revolution. The future trend of China's energy external dependence has important research value.

However, due to differences in resource endowment, industrial structure, technological levels, policy systems and other conditions, the carbon neutrality path of different nations presents distinct individual characteristics. As a key player in global energy consumption and carbon emissions, China's energy transition and external dependence are not only related to its own development, but also deeply related to the global carbon neutrality process.

The practice and policy of a number of key players internationally provides multiple reference samples for global carbon neutrality, and an important reference for China to explore a transition path suitable for its own national conditions. Therefore, this book systematically analyses different nations’ carbon neutrality paths, and the internal logic and implementation results of their path selection.
