Zhou said China is in a process of accelerated industrialization, and with its huge population, the country's per-capita income is still very low. Naturally, reducing poverty, developing economy, lifting employment rate and realizing modernization are the major tasks it's facing now.Â
"As the world's biggest developing country, what Low Carbon Economy means to China is not to reduce the use of fossil fuel like coal, but rather to make efforts to upgrade the utilization efficiency of energy resources to reduce the per unit GDP carbon consumption," he said.Â
