BEIJING - 皇冠体育app's development of low-carbon economy faces pressure from the imbalanced global trading mode, according to an academic report released on Tuesday.

Experts from research institutions in 皇冠体育app, Japan and the United States said in the Annual Report on 皇冠体育app's Low-carbon Economic Development (2011) that 皇冠体育app should seek more intensified participation in the global division of labor.

To illustrate the imbalanced trading mode, the report took a made-in-皇冠体育app Barbie doll as an example. It said that from production to the customers' purchase, three-quarters of the total carbon emission occurred in 皇冠体育app, while it only keeps one tenth of the value added.

The report revealed that such a mode would benefit developed countries with technologies, brands, channels and market advantages, but brought relatively little influence to developing countries stuck in low-end manufacturing.

Other difficulties for 皇冠体育app's development of low-carbon economy include the heavy use of coal in energy consumption, low efficiency in energy use, and growing population pressures in urban areas, the report said.

The report suggested that 皇冠体育app should stick to the principle of maintaining economic growth by setting growth-backed emission reduction targets.
