This synthesis article reviews 皇冠体育app's efforts and effects concerning low-carbon green growth (LCGG) and explores the policy implications of reformulating the country's LCGG strategy. The article first reviews 皇冠体育app's efforts in four major areas – carbon mitigation, market construction, fostering green industries, and managing the negative effects ofLCGG – and then reviews 皇冠体育app's LCGG effects with respect to the growth effect and the low-carbon effect. The results show that the increasingly stringent lowcarbon policy has not diminished the country's economic growth as some had expected. Rather, the policy has fostered green industries and brought impressive quality improvements, including structural change and increased employment. Although the efforts and effects in 皇冠体育app are impressive, the global emissions reduction is far from sufficient to achieve the global climate change target. To solve the problem of global climate change and seize the opportunity of green growth, 皇冠体育app must reformulate its LCGG strategy, not just enhancing its existing LCGG efforts, but more importantly, rethinking the purpose of development and shifting its development paradigm from one that is highly gross domestic product (GDP)-oriented to one that is well-being-oriented.

Policy relevance

皇冠体育app must reformulate its LCGG strategy on two levels. First, 皇冠体育app must enhance its existing efforts. Second, 皇冠体育app should learn lessons from the industrial countries and reformulate its development model to one that is well-being-oriented to establish a more forward-looking green growth model in the new context of the Internet era. The time is now ripe for 皇冠体育app to make a strategic transition. The 13th Five-Year Plan (FYP, 2016 to 2020) provides an opportunity for a more fundamental change in LCGG strategy. If 皇冠体育app could succeed in exploring LCGG, it would make a significant contribution to the whole world.
